Ind. Courts - Odds reduced that a woman will be selected for the Supreme Court

From the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette's editorial page today:

The initial list of candidates for the Indiana Supreme Court was promising for the prospect of ending Indiana’s dubious distinction as one of just two states without a woman on the highest court. A majority of the applicants – 19 of 34 – were female.

Wednesday, the list was reduced to nine, and the majority – five finalists – are male. That certainly doesn’t preclude the appointment of a woman to the court, but it certainly reduces the odds.
