Wilder wins Nomination

Hardly a surprise, I know. But John Wilder is the Democratic nominee to lead the State Senate in the new session. Not a surprise despite the challenge Sen. Joe Haynes. The only interesting outcome from the meeting was Sen. Jerry Cooper's depature from the meeting today without indicating his support for Wilder. Previously, Sen. Cooper had said that he would not support Wilder for another term as Lt. Governor. Next Tuesday's vote will be interesting, not to mention a weekend full of potential posturing.
