That is my prediction of the Presidential race with 30 days to go.  Feel free to cheer, scream, whatever.  I’ll still be here to explain my analysis. Welcome back. Okay, here’s my rationale. Although the national polls have Obama with a 5-7 point lead, it’s state polls that matter because of the Electoral College. By […]

I’m working on a project this weekend, but I wanted to let you all my producer at WXNT, Chris Spangle, will be leaving the morning show. Chris has taken a position at the new Executive Director of the Indiana Libertarian Party. Chris is bright and has a lot of ideas and will bring some new […]

Okay folks,  it’s question and answer time? Who won the vice-presidential debate? Does it change the fundamentals of the presidential race? How much more important are the second and third Presidential debates? Have at it.

I wrote this post back in January.  In the wake of today’s financial meltdown and subsequent baliout/rescue, I thought it was worth re-posting. ECONOMICS 101 With a recession breathing down America’s economic neck, the politicians and bureaucrats in Washington are scrambling to do something. They’re seriously considering giving tax rebates to people who don’t pay income taxes. […]

There are lots of little things to mention this morning, so here they are. Bob Barr, the Libertarian candidate for President will be in Northern Indiana speaking in Valparaiso. Jill Long Thompson is getting a little bit of traction in her campaign.  A new poll shows JLT and Mitch statistically tied.  This comes the day […]

Indianapolis City-County Council Member Doris Minton McNeill has been charged with felony battery and resisting arrest for her alleged altercation with a police officer this past summer. Special Prosecutor Jim Oliver charged McNeill with D felony battery and three counts of resisting law enforcement, a class A misdemeanor. McNeil was reportedly drunk and belligerent when police […]

Here’s an interesting question in the wake the financial bailout/rescue plan.  When you send someone to public office, are you asking them to represent you or use their best judgment?  Remember a pure democracy is four wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for lunch?  In a republic, the lamb has a shotgun.

Survey USA is reporting Governor Mitch Daniels with a 16-point lead over Democratic challenger Jill Long Thompson.  The survey of 687 likely voters showed Daniels leading  53-37.   The poll was taken Sunday and Monday of this week. What’s interesting about this poll is that Daniels is leading in all areas of the state.  Northern […]

Any of this sound familiar? Share everything. Play fair. Don’t hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess.  Don’t take things that aren’t yours. Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody.  Wash your hands before you eat.  Flush. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a […]

I need to make a point of clarification in yesterday’s post.  I talked about Jill Long Thompson’s campaign’s criticism of Governor Mitch Daniels’ travel on the day the stock market lost nearly 800 points.  First, I think her staff should have waited to make a big deal out of this on another news day.
