I am upset. This is our one time to oust Bayh. If Bayh doesn’t go down this year, then Bayh could be Obama’s running mate in 2012 or even a Presidential candidate in his own right come 2016. I guess we’re stuck with the Paultard, John Hostettler.
Oh, btw, if we do gain control of redistricting in IN, Dan Burton will insist on keeping the redistricting lines the same. Burton likes to be in a super safe seat so he can keep having fun and not worry about voter angry.
I love Burton, but after 3 decades, it’s time for him to hang up his hat before he gets unceremoniously dumped in the primary. We’ve got to unpack his and Buyer’s districts to make the surrounding districts more competitive, including the Indianapolis seat. It’s disgusting a radical Mohammadan represents it. Tip more Republicans into it, and we could put a Black Republican in that seat. Had Marvin Scott been funded more heavily, we could’ve won it back in ‘94.
Hostettler withdrew from the Senate Race this weekend.
Bayh is currently UNOPPOSED...
Only two names in Indiana have the recognition and the fund-raising ability to compete with Bayh, and it appears neither of them want the job.
Mitch Daniels, and Will Weaver.
