SUNDAY MORNING MUSINGS
It’s Easter Sunday so a lot of you are out going to church and spending time with your families, so we’ll keep this morning’s entries rather brief.
Wouldn’t It Be Hillary
In Presidential politics there is a very interesting piece worth reading in Politico. It basically says with Florida and Michigan re-votes out of the question, it is virtually mathematically impossible for Hilary Clinton to win the Presidential nomination. The only way she can win is with Super delegates which would tear the party apart and guarantee a John McCain victory in November. So you have to ask, if you are a Hilary supporter is voting for her on May 6 really in the best interests of your party?
Indiana; Making the Grade
Believe it or not, things are improving in Indiana. The Pew Center on the States grades states on their performance in the areas of money, people, infrastructure and information. Overall, Indiana got a “B”, up from a “C+” in 2005. The Pew Center gave the state a “B+” in handling its money and its infrastructure, up from a “C” and “B-“, respectively in 2005. The Pew Center commented the state is taking long-term steps to solve its financial and infrastructure problems. The state went from a “C” to a “B” in managing people. And a “C” to a “B-” in its use of technology to evaluate the performance of its agencies and programs.
Does this seem PC?
I think I have officially seen it all now. Advance Indiana author (and the rather irate President of the get “Abdul out of town club”) Gary Welsh has filed for Republican precinct committee man in Center Township Ward 11, Precinct 5 in the Lockerbie area of Indianapolis. It’s funny because Welsh is a frequent critic of all things GOP in Marion County and makes it known on his blog. He has a challenger, Andrea Impicciche, a local attorney. Normally I wouldn’t even think of writing about a race this small, but sometimes the best gifts show up in the most obscure places.
Happy Easter. And always look on the bright side of life.
