Indiana 2012 Gubernatorial Election.

What are your thoughts? Mike Pence and John Gregg look like the inevitable nominees. Will Right to work be beneficial to Democrats in November?

Pence probably wins, regardless.

Pence romps to victory.

Go Pence!

I've actually volunteered for Pence...it would seem, at this particular point in time, that he'll have a pretty easy way to go in November. Maybe 6-8% or so.

It's a Mikeslide like Florida was a Rubioslide and Kentucky was a Randslide.

55-45 or there abouts is possible. I don't think Pence will win by 20 points though. He doesn't have a Dem vote split to create that artificially high margin like Rubio had. Rubio would have beat either Crist or Meek alone but it would have been very close. 52-48 or 53-47.

Well, Jim Wallace didn't make the ballot - unfortunate, as he's a good guy and it would have nice to at least have 2 people on the ballot.

Mike Pence is certainly the favorite - he is very appealing to the Tea Party base and has the establishment behind him as well. He also has a huge cash edge and will have Daniels campaigning with him.

I've met John Gregg - he is a great guy, very friendly. Without trying to sound critical, I don't think his voice will go over well on the airwaves. He'll have to walk a very tight rope to get the conservatives Democrats traditionally need to win the state while also getting the liberals fully out for him. Obama also won't be nearly as much as an asset as he was for Thompson 4 years ago (Yeah, she lost by like 15 points, but trust me, she's lucky it wasn't 25 points).

My guess is something around 52-39-8. John Gregg will probably come strongly against RTW and appeal the base, but won't have the resources needed to make this tight. You all are forgetting the strength of the Libertarian Party - Rupert Boneham won't break 10%, but he is a familiar face and is very well liked, especially in my area. He might just get my vote, honestly.

Really, who can not adore this campaign logo?

Look at my Political matrix numbers and everything will become clear))). I have some (modest) fiscal conservative streak, but rather solid social liberal)))
