Another very helpful person, this time at the FL Deptartment of State Division of Elections, informed me that, as of 1:00 p.m., there were no newly filed candidates in the race for State Attorney in the Fourth Judicial Circuit. However, she cautioned that applications were still being processed and things would not be finalized until the end of the day.
I won't mind if my previous prediction, based on cynicism and contempt, turns out to be as wrong as GW's conviction that Saddam had WMDs. In fact, I want to be wrong.
As a friend pointed out, the ability for someone to come in at the last minute as a write in candidate, without even having to pay a dime to qualify or gather a single signature, is a sorry loophole that needs to be closed.
