Due to teaching commitments we weren’t able to make tonight’s first gubernatorial debate between Republican Mike Pence, Democrat John Gregg and Libertarian Rupert Boneham, however the most objective, open-minded and extremely patient person we know was able to watch, the Lovely Mrs. Shabazz. As I have mentioned before, my wife is a true independent voter […]
With the three candidates for Indiana Governor set to meet Wednesday night for their first debate, I’ve decided to offer some friendly last-minute advice on what each should and should not do to walk away victorious. I base this on the fact that I have been a broadcaster for 20 years, teaching speech and communications […]
A number of candidates have unveiled their latest Television ads either promoting themselves or attacking their opponents. Here are a few of the latest ones. Richard Mourdock – Republican candidate U.S. Senate Joe Donnelly – Democratic candidate U.S. Senate John Gregg – Democratic candidate for Governor Mike Pence – Republican candidate for Governor Tony […]
With 40 days left to go in the 2012 Election cycle, I figured that would be as good time as any to offer a few assessments and even worse – predictions – regarding the races here in Indiana. As always, a day is like a lifetime in politics and anything can, and usually does, change. […]
Democratic candidate for Governor John Gregg’s latest TV shows signs his campaign is likely either all wet or running dry. As you can see below, Gregg uses his hometown of Sandborn and an umbrella to make the case that Republican Mike Pence would raid the state rainy day fund and leave Hoosiers high and dry. […]
Democrat John Gregg unveils a new ad where he criticizes Republican challenger Mike Pence about wanting to spend down the “rainy day” fund. Republicans counter that when Gregg was Speaker of the House he helped take the state from a surplus to a deficit.
After a little experimenting and looking around I have a new radio home. In conjunction with my website Indy Politics, I’ve relaunched my public affairs program, “Politically Speaking”. It airs Saturdays at 1 p.m. (starting today) on WITT 91.9 FM in Indianapolis. It will be a half-hour show, and occasionally one hour when warranted. Our inaugural […]
As we get ready to hit the Labor Day mark of the 2012 gubernatorial race, I’ve been watching the candidates a lot more closely than I usually do. I’ve been closely watching their speeches, reviewing their policy positions and vigorously monitoring the Internet to keep track of their comings and goings. One thing I’ve noticed […]
Okay, it’s time for an intervention. When I saw John Gregg’s first TV ad, I scratched my head trying to figure out what was going on. Now I definitely think we have a problem. I ran this ad by my wife, the most apolitical person in the universe. She has voted for Democrats, Republicans and […]
Somehow I get the strange feeling that “Lugar Republicans” are in pretty high demand these days. Democrat Joe Donnelly mentioned how he worked with Richard Lugar to save Indiana’s automotive industry. Richard Mourdock does in a roundabout way when he talks about working with Governor Daniels to keep Indiana on track. And Democratic gubernatorial candidate […]
