2010 Political Chat

Earlier in the day, I thought we'd be profiling a grand total of four municipal elections -- the street elections in Krugerville and Bartonville notwithstanding.

But by the end of the day, many area candidates got their paperwork in, making the races just about as lively as last year. In 2009, ten area cities had races. It's looking like nine will have candidate races this year.

Those cities likely to be canceling their May elections altogether include Argyle, Lake Dallas, Ponder, Pilot Point and Sanger -- but there's still a chance someone might file for a write-in ballot.

That deadline isn't until next Monday.
