Normally I don’t use such coarse asterisks on my web blog but allow me some leeway. The complaints about the U.S. Supreme Court decision regarding Voter ID have already started. You know by now Voter ID was upheld 6-3 by the Supreme Court. I just think it’s hilarious that the same people who are still […]
The U.S. Supreme Court this morning, by a vote of 6-3, upheld Indiana’s Voter ID law. The law had been challenged as unconstitutional because critics said it put an undue burden on voters. The law requires to show a government-issued picture ID when they go to the polls. The Court turned away the undue burden […]
In an effort to help inform the voters in this year’s primary make the best decisions, I’m making this blog space available to the candidates. It’s real simple. In 100 words or less just tell the public why you want the office you’re running for and what makes you qualified for it. I won’t edit […]
Here’s my appearance from Fox News last night. I had fun and the last line is priceless.
WHO KNOWS? I was having a discussion with three of the smartest political pundits in Indiana recently and asked them who was going to win the Presidential, Gubernatorial and 7th Congressional District primaries. All three said they weren’t sure and that anything could happen. I’ve always maintained that truly intelligent people will always tell you […]
I normally take Saturday’s off from blogging, but not today. I’m in a parade today as part of a function of the Indianapolis Museum of Art. What’s so funny about it is that I am on a float dedicated to the state’s bloggers. I have no idea why they picked me, but I’ll take the attention […]
I have to take a few minutes to engage in some really bad shameless self-promotion. Because Indiana is so crucial to picking the Democratic nominee for the Presidency some of us local politico types have been approached by the national press to offer up our perspective. I’ll be on KABC radio in Los Angeles later […]
Both Jim Schellinger and Jill Long Thompson are accusing each other of running negative ads. I’ve posted them both here so you can make the judgment for yourself. I honestly don’t think either one is much of a big deal. I’ll be interested in your thoughts.
As we get into some serious campaigning here in Indiana there is something a lot of people need to remember. Democrats tend to vote for Democrats and Republicans tend to vote for Republicans. I say this because of the polling data says a third of Hillary supporters won’t vote for Barack and about 25 percent of […]
Get ready folks for a political blitz the likes of which this state has never seen. Regardless of the results of Pennsylvania tonight, both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama will be here more than you probably care to think about right now. Hillary does well with older, working class, less-college educated voters who tend to […]
