One day I was asked that if it came down to Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, who would I vote for President? My answer was Justin Trudeau because I would be living in Canada. (Rimshot!) But seriously folks, when you take a good look at what’s been happening at the national level and to a […]
Although Indianapolis City-County Council Democrats are touting their “Rebuild Indy” plan as a viable alternative to Mayor Greg Ballard’s infrastructure plan, there could be a legal road block that could stop their proposal from taking effect. As part of their $340 million plan, Council Democrats have proposed taking $45 million from the downtown TIF district. […]
Give it to the Democrats. They got their act together. They went into a convention with questions and issues about unity, broadening their appeal, the possibility of a floor fight and whether their nominee could hit one out of the park. Give them credit, they pulled it off. While the GOP is still struggling to get […]
As the Democratic National Committee gets underway, I had a few thoughts I thought I would share. Despite Evan Bayh not being on the ticket, Indiana is still in play and will come down to a good old-fashioned ground war. The GOP has one of the best get-out-the-vote operations in the nation, but the Obama […]

There was a forum tonight at the Light of the World Church featuring the candidates for Congress. Since the race is on the Democratic side, that’s where I’ll focus my attention. The main four candidates (you know who they are) all agreed that faith matters to voters and people of faith have a role to […]

You might recall how I equated the process to succeed outgoing Congresswoman Julia Carson to that of the queen passing and the subsequent royal family jockeying for position. Well if anyone tells you there is no positioning going on they are lying to your face. For right now it looks like for the major players […]
Although Marion County voters just got done with one election, another could be right around the corner should 7th District Congresswoman Julia Carson not complete her term in office due to health reasons.
