Filing run down

7 candidates are in the Independence Party primary which is bad new in a non instant run off election. That being said having two very credible candiates in Barkley and Uldrich along with the endorsed candidate will provide reason to participate in the Independence Party primary.

2006 IP US Senate candidate Robert Fitzgerald also filed as a Democrat. I wish I could vote in both primaries as Robert Fitzgerald is very clearly more qualified then Franken.
