Who will succeed Frank Peterman?

It's awfully early, but for some reason we've heard a fair amount of Buzz about the state House District 55 race this week. Among the likely Democrats running for heavily Democratic district: Earnest Williams, the Rev. Charles McKenzie, and Gypsy Gallardo.

ED HELM!

Wish Gershom was running for this instead of City.

Who will succeed Peterman? Another Republican.

..Ooooohhhh.... SNAP!

Peterman will be missed

I thought Gershom was working for Kathy Castor?

"Peterman will be missed"

Indeed... who else are we going to get to do nothing for something?

4:48- that would be Williams

The way the district is carved up, a moderate republican could take the seat

Yes, the people are demanding to know what do-nothing is going to replace the old do-nothing.

Ouch. Peterman has been a good representative that listens to all sides and makes good informed decisions. And, yeah, he did also have a really good staff member in Gershom. Sorry if those good decisions didn't mean he was always in bed with the most liberal lefty's in the room. And, I'm sorry, but do nothing, really, he's in the minority party, how much is he gonna affect anyway?

Captain Frank!

the D's should definately elect a person named Gypsy. That will do wonders for credibility.

Frank Peterman is truly one of the nice guys in the process-- good family (who he doesn't run around on), stands by his word, doesn't run around Tally town like he owns it. He will be hard to replace.

"He will be hard to replace."

Not really, there are a crapload of DINO's waiting in the wings.

SOSDD

Same Old Sh-t, Different Dino.

Norm Roche for State House

I hear he's looking into a run at Young's seat.
