Democratic Gubernatorial candidate Jill Long Thompson this week called the property tax caps passed by the Legislature “gimmicks”. Thompson made the statement while participating in a candidate forum in Indianapolis on Sunday. She said she supports capping how much property taxes can increase, but she says the caps passed by the legislature were a bad […]
Politico is reporting Barack Obama is coming to Indianapolis on Thursday. There are no details on the visit except it will happen in the morning and Obama will head to Hawaii to visit his 86-year old grandmother who is seriously ill. Update: Two seconds after I put this up the Obama campaign put out an […]
I’m trying to decide who had a worse Sunday, Peyton Manning or John McCain. Between Barack Obama drawing a collective crowd of 170,000 during two campaign stops in the battleground state of Missouri, raising a record $150,000,000 for the month of September (more the George W. Bush and John Kerry combined in the Fall […]
This cannot be good news for the Jill Long Thompson campaign. The NW Times of Indiana has endorsed Mitch Daniels for Governor over JLT. While I never think newspaper endorsements do much to move voters, it does show something when the premiere paper in an area where JLT should do well and Daniels not so […]
I spent some time yesterday looking at the Electoral Map and came to a startling, but obvious, conclusion. Come election night, Indiana could determine just show how soon the Presidential race ends. It requires a couple assumptions which I don’t think are too far off the plantation. Let’s assume Barack Obama takes most of […]
The only thing that wasn’t standard about Republican Vice-Presidential nominee’s speech this afternoon is that it was in Indiana with less than three weeks before the election. Thousands of people (about 15,000 according the fire marshall) jammed the Verizon Music Center in Noblesville to see Palin. The speech she gave was basically the same speech […]
I’m picking up some mixed signals on the Presidential race here in Indiana. Although Sarah Palin’s visit today shows the national party is finally taking this state seriously, earlier this week during a visit to the Hoosier state U.S. Senator Lindsay Graham reportedly told McCain supporters if they want to do some good they […]
Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin is in town this afternoon. She’ll be speaking at the Verizon Music Center. As much as I love covering political events the thought of being anywhere near I-69 at four in the afternoon is enough to make my head explode. Governor Mitch Daniels will be attending a ribbon cutting ceremony […]
Jill Long Thompson and I need to sit down and have a real long talk. No, I take that back. With 19 days and change left until the election we need to have a really, really, really long talk. Although I have my opinions, I always tried to keep an open mind with her campaign […]
Okay guys, I’m throwing this one up 20 minutes before the final Presidential debate ends… Who won? Who lost? Who’s Joe The Plumber? Did the race change? Knock yourselves out.
