R.I.P. Bill Cochran, arguably Floyd County's last dynastic Democrat.

In January of 2009, when Bill Cochran left the Indiana House, I was 48 years old. He had been my state representative since I was a sophomore in high school. Ed Clere, his successor by the narrowest of margins, was just eight months old when Cochran took office in 1975.

For local Democrats, Cochran has proven to be irreplaceable. Since 2010, they're run five different candidates against Clere, sans discernible traction. Up, down or sideways, 34 years is nothing to sneeze at, and we'll probably not see the likes of him again, maybe from either party.
