Nancy Sulok, writing in the South Bend Tribune, suggested that most county-wide primary races will be unopposed.
A significant exception will be in the 2nd District County Commissioner where incumbent Steve Ross will face a challenge from Dave Thomas. Sharon Carr-Eaton has also filed to compete in the 2nd District County Commissioner primary but has apparently withdrawn and thrown her support behind Thomas.
It appears as though many local Democrats - possibly including those within the Democrat establishment - are unhappy with Ross' performance and are willing to support a primary challenge. Obviously more will come to light on this subject in the coming weeks and months.
Of course, it remains to be seen if any third party (Libertarian, Green, etc.) or independent candidates crop up.
In this past fall's 2007 municipal elections there were no independents, a single Libertarian, and 4 Greens (including your's truly) across all of St. Joseph County.

I found that Carr-Eaton withdrawl interesting. I wonder if Butch, et. al. requested it.
