There have been a few items of note worth reporting this morning for your amusement and entertainment so here they are…. House Minority Leader Pat Bauer won’t say whether Democrats will exercise the “walk out” option this session as a way to halt the Republican agenda.  The last time Democrats were in the minority, 2005,  […]

My political colleagues have started dropping predictions, so I figured I may as well get on the bandwagon.  My predictions are based on what I’ve been picking up this morning as well as over the past several weeks.  Of course, things can change if we have a late surge after 3 p.m. U.S. Senate – […]

With less than 48 hours to go before the polls open, I bring you lots of nice little tidbits of political information for your reading pleasure or consternation. The early voting continues in Marion County.  More than 1,200 people showed up for in-person voting on Saturday and more than 19,600 people have participated.  In 2006, […]

Although it looks like Republican Secretary of State candidate Charlie White will coast to victory on Tuesday, despite allegations of voter fraud and campaign irregularities, some questions have arisen what would happen should White be charged with voter fraud and convicted.

I’ve got some work to do this morning, so I have to take a little break from the usual political discussion.  In the meantime, I’m opening up the forum for you to make your own political predictions.  Feel free to throw in the percentages.

The curse of an election season that has a lot of focus on the national climate as well as control of the Indiana House of Representatives is that it’s real easy for a lot of candidates to get lost in the shuffle.  If you want to know what I mean, I’m talking about the races […]

“Hey, maybe you haven’t been keeping up on current events, but we just got our asses kicked, pal!” It’s not everyday I can use a quote from the 1986 film Aliens, but after talking on background with several  Democrats across the state Monday, I seriously think, for the first time this election season, we could […]

Wow, there’s nothing like two weeks before an election to have multiple story lines pop up all over the place.  So let’s get started.
