The die is so very nearly cast in the 2010 primaries. Filing closes shortly, so the list of contested primaries is looking close to being set.
On the local level, there have been few surprises and few filings in the last week. Rep. Elliott Naishtat, D-Austin, became the final member of the Travis County legislative delegation to file for re-election, while Georgetown education consultant and property investor Marsha Farney became the third Republican to file for State Board of Education Place 10.
Now the waiting game is on to see when (and, to a lesser degree, whether) announced candidates like House District 48 Republican Glenn Bass and Democratic district court hopeful Amy Clark Meachum get their paperwork in before the Jan. 4 deadline.
