Some of you pointed out that I was one-for-two on my caucus predictions in the 7th Congressional District over the weekend. That will get you to the big leagues in other lines of work.

While I correctly picked Democrat Andre Carson, I underestimated Republican Jon Elrod. Elrod is fast making a career of exceeding expectations and he, again, begins this race for the March 11th special election as an underdog.

Carson has more name ID, favorable demographics but writing Elrod off is a bad idea.

Meantime, Democrat Robin Winston put out a news release to say he won’t run in the May primary. How crowded will that field be?
