So Sue Me

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Okay, I’m going to have to talk to you about your TPS reports. That’s a line from “Office Space” one of the greatest films of the 1990s.   If you don’t know what I’m talking about, rent the movie.  If you do know what I’m talking about you know a TPS Report is a total waste […]

Mitch for President?

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Maybe.  From the Washington Post… Daniels said Sunday that he is not taking any preliminary steps, and instead would spend the next year focused on the problems of his state. “I’ve got my hands full, trying to keep things glued together and take care of people who are sideswiped here, do the most essential things […]

Burton’s Loss

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

I honestly don’t know whether Indiana 5th District Congressman Dan Burton has had a stroke of genius or just a stroke, but his decision not to debate his opponents for the upcoming primary is one that baffles me to no end. With the latest polling data showing his re-elects at less than 30 percent, more than […]

Look Out

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

There are quite a few things I’ll be looking out for this week.  Here are some of them. If I’m missing anything, let me know. Look for a new police chief to be named this week.  My sources tell me IMPD is promoting from within and it will likely be Northwest District Commander Paul Ciesielski. […]

Playing By the Rules

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

If Marion County Democrats plan to challenge the precinct committeemen candidtes presented by Mayoral candidate Brian Williams, they should be ready to have a fight on their hands. Williams told me Saturday that he plans to “defend and support his people for PC and they will not lack for infrastructure or resources.”  He says any […]

Saturday Morning Post

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

Things keep getting more interesting in local Democratic party circles.  I told you yesterday Mayoral candidate Brian Williams had more than 200 supporters file for PC slots. This morning I’m hearing that there are at least a dozen or so individuals who are running in the Democratic primary who aren’t Democrats.  Some are Tea party […]

Life Just Got Interesting…

Friday, February 19th, 2010

Although today is the filing deadline for candidates who want to run in the May primary today is also the day Indianapolis Mayoral hopfeful Brian Williams announced that 200 of his supporters have filed to run for precinct committeemen spots in the Marion County primary. As if Democrats didn’t have enough on their plate this […]

The Week That Was

Friday, February 19th, 2010

If you would have told me a week ago that Evan Bayh would not be running for the U.S. Senate, I would have suggested you put down the crack pipe.  After this week, I may start to take up the habit. The last time I saw these many people running for something, it was a […]

For Young Republicans, Coats a Tough Sell

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

The words below are cross-posted from The Capitol Wacthblog and written by my colleague, Republican Mike O’Brien.  I think it illustrates a bog hurdle the Dan Coats campaign is going to have to overcome. Everything I know about Dan Coats, I’ve learned in the past ten days.  When Coats was first elected to Congress I […]

How Are They Doing?

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

If  you’re interested in knowing how the candidates for the U.S. Senate are doing over with certified signature collection, I’ve got some interesting numbers for you from across all Indiana nine Congressional districts… Dan Coats – 14,113. Don Bates, Jr – 6,173. John Hostetler – 6,946.  (And he may still have some out) Marlin Stutzman […]
