Podcasting the SD17 Hopefuls

RG Ratcliffe chats up the GOP side of the 17th Senate District potentials. And even though he's not interviewed on the public record here, Scott Hochberg's name keeps coming up. Gary Polland makes reference to a possible December election date, which would be interesting. Primarily because it would allow Scott to run without giving up his State House seat.

But what I'm really curious to see is if any of the candidates opt to poke a little fun at Janek's anointed successor's name. Listening to the interviews, it keeps sounding like they're talking about "Austin First." Could it be that a name like Austen Furse might be a detriment?
