A Pence-Ellspermann Ticket ???
All political signs point to Indiana Republican Gubernatorial candidate Mike Pence picking State Representative Sue Ellspermann as his running mate for Lt. Governor.
Ellsperman meets a number of criteria that would help Pence. She is from southern Indiana, representing Warrick, Spencer, Perry and Dubois counties.
She is a small businesswoman, considered to a be moderate-conservative Republican, and she would bring balance to the ticket. Most importantly, Pence will first announce his pick Monday morning in Evansville.
I am also told that the position was offered to current Lt. Governor Becky Skillman, but she declined. We also hearing that John Gregg is looking at Ft. Wayne Mayor Tom Henry as a choice for Lt. Governor. Also under consideration is Lafayette Mayor Tony Roswarski.
Libertarian Rupert Boneham has chosen former LP Executive Director Brad Klopfenstein as his running mate.
