Could Libertarian Mike Wherry actually be Indiana’s Secretary of State?  Maybe, it’s not as farfetched as you might think.  There is speculation starting to percolate that if the Indiana Supreme Court finds that Charlie White was ineligible to be Secretary of State then that job could go to Libertarian Mike Wherry, who was also on [...]

Marion County Judge Louis Rosenberg ruled late Thursday that Indiana Secretary of State Charlie White was ineligible to hold the office and ordered he must vacate it and the seat goes to Democratic challenger Vop Osili.   White had come under fire for voting from a precinct where he did not live.

Over the weekend it was announced that Democrats had chosen District 7 City-County Councilor Maggie Lewis as President for next year.  Brian Mahern was chosen to fill the Vice-President slot and Vernon Brown will be the majority leader.  A couple of things.  First, if you subscribed to my political cheat sheet you already knew the [...]

A Marion County Judge today said a Democratic challenge to Republican Secretary of State Charlie White’s eligibility to serve can go forward, however that challenge must be made with the Indiana Recount Commission.

I thought the gossip, rumor and innuendo might slow down a bit this week, but it didn’t.  So with that said, here we go. With Eric Holcomb being named as the “front runner” to replace Murray Clark as the head of the Indiana Republican Party, speculation is being drawn that it’s a sign that Mitch [...]
