Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett and I have known each other for a long time and I think I can say with some certainty that Saturday was not one of his better days. By a ten-vote margin, members of his own party rejected his candidate for Marion County Prosecutor, special Counsel Tim Moriarty and instead chose Ryan Mears, who had […]
Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry says his office is taking a pass on investigating allegations of voter fraud against former U.S. Senator Evan Bayh.

We all have goals to lose weight, quit smoking, be better people, or in my case finish that novel that’s been sitting in my laptop for three years. I’m not sure what resolutions some of my favorite politicos in Indiana made for the […]
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. U.S. Senate – Dan Coats v. Brad Ellsworth v. Rebecca Sink-Burris […]
