Im sad Dwana dropped out. She would have made that race interesting. Bob Shutt filed from what I heard, to take on Delores. Dont know why...she'll take Fayette and that will be that and his son is going to TCU to play big time college football. George B on 101.5 in Jackson said an hour ago that State Rep Jimmy Eldridge will be unopposed this year.
