Former Supreme Court Justice Margaret Workman tells The Associated Press that she plans to launch an exploratory committee for her old job.
"Workman said she will not run if Starcher seeks another 12-year term," the AP article notes. "While Justice Elliott 'Spike' Maynard launched his re-election bid last month, Justice Larry Starcher has not announced his 2008 plans."
The Charleston Democrat became the first woman elected to a statewide office in 1988, and retired from the court in 1999. She has since unsuccessfully run for Congress and the state Senate.
Update: Starcher may be considering a new line of work, according to the Charleston Daily Mail.

Starcher isn't going to run - he doesn't want his name dragged through the mud like McGraw's was. Of course, when half the mud is your own bullshit, thats what you get.
Workman vs. Walker: now that sounds interesting.
