Hmm...I don't get this one...ain't this a tad early for filin'?

From the Columbia Tribune Political blog [1]:

Former state Rep. Bob Behnen, R-Kirksville, turned in paperwork with the Missouri Ethics Commission to run for the 18th District state Senate seat....in 2014.

That's right. Not 2010, when Wes Shoemyer is up for re-election. 2014. Farsighted, that Bob.
