My good friend Jim Shella has made his predictions for today’s primary, so I figured I would jump into the fray.  However, like a good attorney, I always hedge my bets.  My predictions are based on numerous calls across the state today as well as everything we’ve seen so far.  These are for entertainment purposes [...]

Focus on the 5th

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

The candidates for the 5th Congressional District met for what will likely be their last collective gathering at Ivy Tech Community College in Marion.

Tuesday, April 24th, 2012

Most of the candidates running for the 5th Congressional District Republican primary will meet Wednesday night for another debate, but this one will have a twist that will make it different than all the previous encounters.  They will get to ask questions of each other.

Fifth District Follies

Saturday, February 18th, 2012

I am hoping the race for Indiana’s 5th District Congressional will turn into the greatest political show on earth and not just become another Congressional race.

The race for Indiana’s 5th Congressional District could be a lot more crowded come Friday. With incumbent Dan Burton not running for re-election and former U.S. Attorney Susan Brooks, former Congressman David McIntosh, former Marion County Coroner John McGoff and Fishers Attorney Jack Lugar in the race you would think there was no more room [...]

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011

Now that we’ve cleared the Indiana Black Expo hurdle, I can post about some other things that have been going on. So here is all the gossip, rumor and political innuendo fit to print.  Take it for what it’s worth. The Decatur Township Small Claims Court has made the Wall Street Journal, and not for [...]

Wednesday’s Political Wire

Thursday, June 30th, 2011

Lots of little interesting tidbits of gossip, rumor and political innuendo to throw out there this morning,  so without further adieu… Freedom Works continues to sit on the fence when deciding whether to get into the Richard Lugar/Richard Mourdock U.S. Senate Primary, despite what’s said officially, the word is they don’t trust the local tea [...]
