Although the polls are closing as I am writing this blog post.  I’ve been going through some interesting data on the early voting in Marion County. Out of the nearly 23,000 ballots already cast, 33% can be identified as Republican/Republican leaning; 28% Democratic/Democratic leaning and 38% undecided/unidentifiable. As expected, Republicans did well in the early […]

My political colleagues have started dropping predictions, so I figured I may as well get on the bandwagon.  My predictions are based on what I’ve been picking up this morning as well as over the past several weeks.  Of course, things can change if we have a late surge after 3 p.m. U.S. Senate – […]

It’s Election Day!  Go vote!  What more needs to be said?  Exactly!

Although there are 36 hours to go before the 2010 midterm elections are over and we still have  the 2011 elections to get through, it’s never too late to start talking about 2012.   To be more specific I’m talking about Indiana Congressman Mike Pence who is being talked about as a potential candidate for Governor […]

U.S. Senate – Dan Coats v. Brad  Ellsworth v. Rebecca Sink-Burris […]

U.S. Senate candidate Brad Ellsworth tells me that any Democrats who think he is giving up and conceding the race to Dan Coats are mistaken. At a breakfast meeting  this morning with the Marion County Democratic Chairman’s Club, an organization for large contributors, sources say Ellsworth virtually admitted the race for the Senate was over.   […]

The hard thing about writing about politics daily, is what do you write about when it’s a relatively politically slow news day?  Well, if you’re me, you write about the latest political gossip, rumor and blatant innuendo, that’s what.  So here it is. The latest numbers are out on early voting in Marion County.   As […]
