Koehler vs. Sullivan? Run Pat! Run!

I was hanging out at one of my favorite bars last night, Kelleher's. Yeah, I know, it's obvious, quite clean and classy, type of place you can take the grandparents when they visit from out of town. I prefer neighborhood dives but, for finding out what's going on in local politics, Kelleher's is The Place.

Even the bartenders can tell you who is considered next up to bat. Retiring George Shadid may face wishing well to two good friends. Koehler (Who no how, no friggin way will win) and Kelleher's owner, Patrick Sullivan taking up battle for Republicans. Lord have mercy, the GOP has actually come up with someone who can win. My guess, if Sullivan goes for it, he will wipe the floor with Koehler.

Problem. This is all guess and rumor as I can't find anyone who has signed a petition for Pat Sullivan. Even the best bartenders can be wrong, but my spy says Pat has an extra twinkle in his eye and his walk has a bit more pep than usual. It seems that Pat often finds himself close to jumping into the political ring, but runs back to his very popular bar at the last minute. Hey, Pat! They have Harps in Springfield too. Maybe you can get Aaron to buy the first round. Do Apostolic's drink? I don't think so... Well, maybe you can get him to buy you a rootbeer float or something.

Polly predictions. Schock v. Spears = Schock winner

Koeher v. Sullivan= Sullivan winner

*Sigh* Sane, smart Republicans taking back Springfield. Starting to feel like an early Christmas.
