Taft City Councilman Cliff Thompson announced, this weekend, that he will be running for 4th District Kern County Supervisor against incumbent Ray Watson. He's being backed by state Senator Dean Florez. But the big question mark in the June race remains whether Bakersfield City Councilman David Couch plans to make the Thompson/Watson face off into a three-way battle. Rumors have put Couch in the race for months. And Couch refuses to comment on his plans. But rumors had also said Watson would retire — leaving the seat to others to fight over. He's not retiring. He's running. So we have Watson, a long-time businessman with a $35,000 war chest and the incumbency. We have Thompson, a firey Taft boy with opinions and little fear of sharing them. And we have Couch, who has been quiet since the dust up over his anti-illegal- immigration stance at the city council. This race could get interesting. What are people thinking?
