*trial, not trail

I voted for Jill…it was a close call, but after reading their platforms, hers was shorter on platitudes and longer on detail. At the time I had no idea the 2 candidates’ classiness was even on trail–both looked to be well-mannered and polite. Boy, was i wrong.

JLT must answer these election charges. Quickly. Effectively. For me, at least.

If they couldn’t schedule a press conference during a timeframe Jim S. could attend, like last Thursday, then something’s definitely wrong.

You remember Schellinger–the one who couldn’t muster a “congratulations Jill” the day after the election. He needs to muzzle his brother and learn some manners.

The 1980 comparisons are not lost. In the gov’s race, anyway. Nationally, this is going to be such a Democratic year that Indiana could edge closer to being in play. Closer, not “in play,” but closer.

Mrs. Practical: I think Jerry just provided your analysis. It’s difficult for many to get enthused if it sounds like bigger government. Privatization’s had some success with perception of efficiency and smaller government. I think health-care transition could happen if everybody pays something, improvement in admin overhead, cost-savings with a basic tier for the indigent, basic or emergency care for non-citizens, and people can still buy more care with more $. Otherwise, it’s a tough sell. Unless, you belive an Iraq withdrawl and tax reform will create enough magic buckets of money. I don’t think so.

2008 is starting to smell a lot like 1980 for Democrats.
In 1980 the Dems left their convention with a sitting President as their candidate who had no possible way of winning and didn’t.
In 1980 the UAW and the AFL both s**t on Hillenbrand when their man Townsend lost in the primary for Governor.
Oh, and Evan Bayh’s father Senator Birch went down with the ship too.
We Dems have a bad habit of eating our own and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
2008 will not be an exception.

I don’t want health insurance from the government!! She is so against privatization, and thinks government can provide healthcare for all. No wonder I would never vote Democrat.

Odd, I didn’t think the UAW had any members in Indiana since the closing of nearly all the auto plants. They must have robbed the UAW pension fund to come up with the 1/2 million $ they shoveled to The Shell.
I’m surprised Parker is still around and even more surprised JLT can’t find a running mate.
What’s Bart doing now?
