Could Speedy simply be running to hold the spot for Murphy, sould Murphy not win the Congressional primary? If Murphy lost the primary in the 5th, Speedy could withdraw up until July 15, 2010, and then the caucus could replace the vacancy with Murphy. Or does Speedy have personal amibtions to serve in the legislature?
