Well...it's now been a week since the Picard Democrats could have pulled petitions for a Democratic Town Committee primary in March...and the big news is that there's no news.
As of late yesterday, no petition forms have been requested...by anyone.
I have to admit, this lack of activity has me confused. Based on the level of intensity displayed at the nominating caucus, I have little doubt that there will be a primary. But the absence of petitioning benefits the group in power far more than anyone else. All petitions have to be returned soon...how does cutting into the time one has for getting signatures help?
I'm sure the Morrissey side couldn't care less about this: as things stand now, they're firmly in control. And - without a primary - they will have the power to decide who gets the endorsement in 2011.
Incidentally, if the Morrissey side emerges victorious, there will be major ramifications for the other political parties in town...and for all of us as well. Stay tuned.
