This is it. No more commercials. No more ralllies. No more blogs. No more spin. Just good old fashioned get out and vote. The only thing that has surprised me about this election how suprised everyone else seems to be about how close things look today. Anyone who has been paying close attention should not […]
Everyone keeps asking me what’s going to happen tomorrow. If I knew that the Hoosier lottery would not be as large as it is now because I’d have won it. What I can tell you is that I will not be surprised at the outcome. You can make your predictions. I’m off to go see […]
I’m starting out this piece by saying former Indianapolis Star columnist Rishawn Biddle and I have been friends for three years and we still are, nothing has changed.

I attended the news conference this afternoon at Kennedy-King Park. The news was pretty straight-forward. The fun part was what happened afterwards. I’ll have a link up here tomorrow for you. I won’t go into much detail, but tune in here tomorrow after 10 a.m. and I’ll have the full details. It will be priceless.
