McManus Decides Against Race; Ergo Senator Kelsey?

After a similar decision over the weekend by Shelby County school board chairman David Pickler, that leaves the way uncontested so far for state Rep. Kelsey, as the only Republican running for the seat left vacant by the resignation of Paul Stanley.
The Election Commission, awaiting a formal writ of election from Governor Phil Bredesen, has not yet set an election date, nor deadline dates for candidate filing and withdrawal, but commission members have voted unanimously to schedule the party primaries for the special state Senate election, if possible, for October 15, the same date as the scheduled special election for Memphis mayor.
District 31 votes overwhelmingly Republican in contested elections, so that whoever wins the GOP primary would be expected to take the general election as well.

OK, Jackson, because you would not send me Fields' letter which I had to get from Derek, all your numerous typos now get exposed in the open instead of in discreet emails from me. Then we see if Bruce or Ken let you kill my comments. I mean, of course, if they do, I won't have any other means to expose THAT, now will I?
" has not yet an election date"
Duh, "set," even?
On to substantive matters...McManus: Guleff -- a former Navy SEAL, has carried your reputation as far as he can. I think you're an unimpressive coward.
Kelsey, you're an immature and mediocre piece of work. Not awfully bright, either.
I offered to fill this seat to assist the standards of the people of Collierville, where I have roots and which district I have the constitutional eligibility to serve; but I have been ignored. People get the "leadership" they deserve.
