The campaign finance reports for the latest filing periods are up.  Here’s how the candidates are doing and what they’ve got left to spend for the last two weeks of the 2010 campaign. The Dan Coats campaign tells me they raised more than $2 million in the third quarter and have more than $1.3 million […]

Mark Massa’s campaign is stepping up its efforts in the race for County Prosecutor. It’s unveiling a new television ad today going after Democrat Terry Curry and his record on sex offenders. It’s pretty heavy hitting. It will be interesting to see how the Curry camp responds.

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 […]

When you see an opening, no matter how small, take advantage of it.   I am sure that slogan is on the wall right now over at Indiana Democratic State Headquarters.  For months Democrats have been pushing the issue of Republican Dan Coats’ ties as a former lobbyist.   To date, I would argue, that charge has […]

Democratic candidate for Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry has unveiled an ad that is slated to hit the airwaves later this week.  I have it below.   It’s not as hard hitting as I thought it would be, but it gets his name out, which is most important.   My favorite part of the ad is the […]

I just got a look at John Layton’s newest ad for Marion County Sheriff.  Seems typical, except there are uniformed deputies in it as well as Marion County Sheriff squad cars.  I’ll have to do some checking but I think that may run contrary to Indiana law.  You would think that with all the recent […]

Dan Coats was a lobbyist.  Brad Ellsworth supports the Obama-Pelosi agenda.  We need smaller government. If you missed Monday night’s debate from the IUPUI Campus I just told you in 15 words virtually everything that you missed.   I was expecting more from 8th District Congressman Brad Ellsworth, former U.S. Senator and Ambassador Dan Coats and […]

In the great debate on early satellite voting, I was pretty much agnostic on the whole matter.   While Democrats and Republicans argued over procedures and protocols, I personally thought the effort should have been put on Election Day vote centers.   So on Election Day, you can vote anywhere in the county and not just in […]

With three weeks to go until Election Day, I’ve decided to use Sunday mornings as a time to do a bit of prospective analysis on this year’s upcoming contests.  While there’s no doubt there is a Republican wave coming, the big question is whether it will hit shore?    I’m sure it will, I’m just not […]
