There are lots of items to be on the lookout for this week.  Here are a few of the more interesting ones. Expect new legislative maps to be unveiled, possibly as early as later this morning.  Both the Indiana House and Senate have put their maps together based on new census data.  Expect a new […]

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. Democrats say since White voted from his ex-wife’s address and did not live there, he was not a legally registered voter when […]

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 […]

Here are the latest little political tidbits for your amusement and entertainment. My very reliable Republican sources are telling me the apparent front runners to replace Murray Clark as the head of the Indiana Republican Party are Ann Hathaway and 6th District Chair Ted Ogle.  Also mentioned in the running are Kevin Kellams, Cam Savage […]

I’ve got some work to do this morning, so I have to take a little break from the usual political discussion.  In the meantime, I’m opening up the forum for you to make your own political predictions.  Feel free to throw in the percentages.

The curse of an election season that has a lot of focus on the national climate as well as control of the Indiana House of Representatives is that it’s real easy for a lot of candidates to get lost in the shuffle.  If you want to know what I mean, I’m talking about the races […]

“Hey, maybe you haven’t been keeping up on current events, but we just got our asses kicked, pal!” It’s not everyday I can use a quote from the 1986 film Aliens, but after talking on background with several  Democrats across the state Monday, I seriously think, for the first time this election season, we could […]

Wow, there’s nothing like two weeks before an election to have multiple story lines pop up all over the place.  So let’s get started. Indiana Democrats continue to accuse Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dan Coats of lying about when he began to pursue his lobbying career.  State Chairman Dan Parker has another news conference slated […]

With the election about a month away, I figured now would be as good a time as any to blog about the political lay of the land and what the world may look like on November 3. These assessments are made on a number of factors (conversations with politicos from across the state, campaign people, […]
