Here are a few things to ponder this Tuesday. Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard met yesterday with the Marion County Republican members of the General Assembly.  No word yet on the topic of discussion, but odds are it had something to do with the Mayor’s objectives for the upcoming Legislative session. Speaking of Mayors, Marion County […]

Editor’s Note: I apologize for the title of this post, but I relaxed this weekend by watching a lot of Star Trek. In the wake of the consolidation vote this past week in Marion County regarding the township assessors, I have some news for the rest of township government,  you will be assimilated.  I hate […]

I was on the phone this past week with a friend I used to work with when I was at the Illinois Attorney General’s Office.  I worked in Springfield and he worked in Chicago.  He told me two things.  First, he couldn’t believe the State Senator he used to share an elevator with in 2002, […]

I’m finishing up my Election analysis and will have it posted tomorrow.   In the meantime, here’s an opportunity for you to help someone in need.  If you voted for Obama because you wanted change for the better, here’s your chance.  If you voted for McCain because you believe the answer to problems lie in […]

Jen Wagner and I discuss this week’s election results . Enjoy!  

It really is amazing what goes on behind closed doors, luckily I have good ears. In the world of Marion County Democrats, Center Township Trustee Carl Drummer and Township Constable Tony Duncan literally got into a cursing match with County Chairman Ed Treacy over his refusal to get into the fight to save the Township […]

I’m tired after runing on a few hours of sleep.  When I get up later today I will do my post electoral piece, but in the interim, please remember this.  The democracy will survive.  It has for more than 220 years.  Anybody who is freaking out right now needs to relax, regroup and focus on […]

Here’s an unofficial vote of the consolidation question on the township question.  The first number is the percentage of yes votes. Center:              59         41% Franklin:            69         31% Lawrence:         67         33% Perry:               63         37% Pike:                 58         42% Warren:             57         43% Washington:      70         30% Wayne:             61         39% […]

10:00 p.m. Barack is President.  Mitch is Governor.  Abdul is right. 9:25 p.m. ABC News is calling Ohio for Barack Obama. If it holds this race is pretty much over! 8:38 p.m. Ponder this. In Marion County Democrats are out straight-ticket voting Republicans by 20,000 votes but Daniels is winning by 47,000 votes. 8:08 p.m. […]

The polls are closed in most of Indiana. I’ll be live blogging all night from the RTV 6 studios. Feel free to post your post-electoral thoughts here. The first thing I can tell you is that the Daniels camp called 100,000 voters today. We’ll see how that impacted the results.
