MUTUAL POLITICAL ADMIRATION SOCIETY

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

I’ve been making some calls about Barack Obama and Andre Carson’s endorsements of each other and the members of the political class I spoke with all seem to agree that the race is now Carson’s to lose. Obama will likely win the the 7th District by a strong margin over Hillary Clinton and there was […]

CARSON PICKING OBAMA?

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

I’m hearing 7th District Congressman and candidate Andre Carson may endorse Barack Obama today. Carson has been on the fence for a few months every time I asked him. Carson is also a super delegate. A formal endorsement would also signal a tight race in the 7th and by supporting Obama, Carson would be endearing […]

OBAMA AHEAD IN INDIANA

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

A new poll out by the LA Times and Bloomberg found Barack Obama ahead of Hillary Clinton by 5 points here in the Hoosier state. The poll surveyed 691 likely voters. However it was done right as the latest Obama controversy was taking shape. Obama leads 40-35 with 19 percent undecided, so the dynamics could […]

A TALE OF TWO PROPOSALS

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

Two measures were introduced at last night’s City-County Council meeting; one would reduce the Public Safety Tax by 0.5 percent.  Sponsor Vernon Brown says part of the tax was increased to cover the pre-1977 police pension debt, but since the state has now picked up that burden, Brown says the money should be returned to the […]

OH BOY! LOOK WHAT I HAVE HERE!

Monday, April 14th, 2008

Say what you will about Barack Obama, but I don’t think you want to use the term “boy” anywhere near his name.

MISSTATEMENTS AND MISGIVINGS

Monday, April 14th, 2008

Someone recently asked me what I thought when politicians misspeak?  I said “not much.”   It happens all the time.  Whether it’s Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama or John McCain.  I expect them to make misstatements.   It happens when you talk a lot and live in the age of YouTube and camera phones. The trick is what […]

PANHANDLE PLAINS

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

Well, I went and did it. I panhandled in downtown Indianapolis on Friday for a couple hours. It was an interesting experiment to say the least. Let me share my story. I didn’t go with the total “bum” look. I just wore clothes, that for me were very dressed down. I had my change cup. It […]

HOWDY HILLARY

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton swung through Indianapolis this morning taking swipes at China and Barack Obama.   Hillary visited the Allison Transmission plant on the city’s west side touting it as a good example of the American economy being tied to American defense. She took aim at what she called the outsourcing of America’s security […]

PRESIDENTIAL PONTIFICATION

Friday, April 11th, 2008

Here are couple interesting notes from the campaign trail. Hillary Clinton will be in Indianapolis tomorrow with Evan Bayh at the Allison Transmission plant on the west side of town.  By the way, her campaign headquarters in Terre Haute went up in flames.  No jokes here, please. Barack Obama must have a pair the size of Alpha […]

DON’T MESS WITH BIL

Bil Browning of The Bilerico Project is now my hero.  Here’s why.
