Knox County Commission primary rundown
By: R. Neal  shortURL

Paul Witt at the Bully Pulpit has the rundown of candidates on the ballot, who's term limited, write-ins, and likely outcomes. He's not giving write-ins much of a chance, and thinks established candidates, including term-limited candidates and by extension party executives, are the winners.

I'll comment here since

I'll comment here since they're turned off on my own site.

Yes, I think that, unfortunately, most voters won't write people in.  Even in races where the incumbent already had a challenger, the incumbent still stands a good chance of winning.

I'd rather it weren't that way but from the Dems side, I feel pretty good about the effort put into our write-ins.  Which is why I said last week that I wasn't worried or afraid of anything.  I just didn't want to give details at the time.

One more thing... my opinion

One more thing... my opinion on the outcomes is mostly due to me being a cynic, not a reflection on the candidates.  Some of them I count as friends and really do hope they pull off a win.  I'm just not holding my breath.
