The State Senate Race to Watch
is the 30th - Champion versus Harpool.
Consensus has McKenna and Shoemyer winning and Barnitz holding. Assuming that happens, Harpool is really the one to watch - because on Thursday the Democratic Senators will caucus.
Chuck Graham will challenge Maida Coleman for the leadership position. Observers say that he is counting on Harpool's vote to unseat Coleman. Harpool wins, Graham is the new minority leader; Harpool loses and Graham has to go hunting for another vote.
very interesting information. Graham supported Maida over Pat Dougherty last time, and now he's challenging her.
Who will be running for whip then? Or caucus chair? What side will Jeff Smith come down on? With Green, McKenna, Shoemeyer and Barnitz in caucus, is it possible theres a more conservative member who gets in the leader mix?
