SD-3: Is Bush League Bradley Really Going for It?

By Dean Barker

Ray Buckley sends out a release on the state senate special election that manages to be funny and cryptic at the same time:
"We welcome both Jeb Bradley and Joe Kenney into the race for State Senate. In November, the voters of District 3 overwhelmingly elected their Democratic opponents, and I am convinced they will do the same this time as well.

"We are also very excited that Bud Martin, our nominee for state senate in 2008, has decided to run again for the seat. Unlike his opponents, Bud has a record of fighting for the families of the Lakes Region.

"Bud outperformed Bradley and Kenney in the last election in District 3, and I am confident that he will come out on top when all the votes are counted later this Spring.

I suspect the path will be quickly cleared for Bud on our side, given how close he came during the general election to swinging that seat.  For the elephants, though, the path is less clear.  According to the article, Fergus doesn't sound too interested if there's going to be a primary, and other names are being tossed around: Joe Kenney, Sam Cataldo (who lost in the primary), even Jeb Bradley.
