But Nabers didn't lose by much in '06, and he's not quite hit the century mark. I'd put him at 10-1 against a run, but not 100-1.

He has a cushy job with a big silk stocking law firm and he's about 112 years old. We’ve heard the last of Drayton Nabers.

Drake ought to save her family's money for a run a few election cycles later, maybe for one of the appeals courts. She doesn't have what it takes for a run for the See seat. On the GOP side, the same could be said for Hand and Zeigler from the 2006 primary bloodbath. Interesting that not many of the Republican incumbents in the article will categorically rule themselves out. I sense there's a chance some could be drafted for a run if it looks like Wise will be unopposed. Why weren't the new appeals judges (T. Moore, S. Welch, T. Thomas) not asked by the AP about their plans? And as long as we keep hearing Roy Moore's name dredged out of the muck each election, I'd add that I doubt we've heard the last of Drayton Nabers.
