Indiana 2012 Congressional Races

If Silent Joe runs for Senate or governor, who do the Democrats get to oppose Walorski?

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

And why do you say Walorski was weak?

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Besides the fact that she lost. The slightest tweak in the district lines and she wins. Say they put all of Howard county into the second, Jackie wins comfortably.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

A better Republican candidate probably would have won (which would have restored the district's tradition of unseating incumbents in years ending in zero).

She came very close to unseating someone who won by just 20 points 2 years earlier, and probably would have won if it hadn't been for the Libertarian in the race. Was she the greatest campaigner in the world? No, but I don't think we could (or can) get anyone better with more name recognition.

Republicans will create a Walorski-friendly district. I've heard legislators talking about it. In November 2012, Jackie Walorski will be elected to the US House with over 50%. I'm calling it now.

And I plan to have a hand in that becoming reality.

A good article on the 2012 race, why Mourdock doesn't have as great of a chance as people think.

Worked the GOP stand at the county fair today, met some interesting folks. One kept talking on and on about communism, I thought I had entered a time machine. It's becoming clearer to me the less-educated folks around here are supported Mourdock while just about everyone else is supporting Lugar. Also found a Romney/Mourdock supporter, which literally caused me to LOL.

A Romney/Mourdock supporter..... That makes no sense. So says a Paul/undecided.

The could use the impeachment process.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Tmfth, you got Daniels on your side. Daniels should endorse Ron Paul as he's much closer in views than Mitt. I'm not surprised he endorsed Lugar. Being a Lugar protage and all.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Sure, Lugar can't lose whereas Mourdock can.  But the seat is unlikely to flip regardless, and it has not yet been proven that Donnelly is a top-tier candidate.  Sure, he held on in 2010, but he was running against a complete nut.

Jacki Walorski is not a nut.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Silent Joe will lose regardless of who he faces. Only Bayh would have a chance of beating either one. The Dem bench is rather sad around here.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

If Lugar were able to run as an Indie it would make things very interesting. I'm kinda torn about sore loser laws.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

But most partisan Democrats view bipartisanship means conservatives come over to their view.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Try the curbstomp Stutzman threw on the democrat in the third.

Stutzman 2018 would destroy Silent Joe.

Jackie won :-)

Indiana has also a tendancy to be nortorious vote splitters
