Did Baron Hill (D-IN) sucker punch Mike Sodrel after their debate last week?

[RichardEdward]

Did anyone here attend the debate last week between Baron Hill (democratic incumbent from IN's 9th congressional district) and Mike Sodrel (republican challenger)... I have heard that after the debate, Hill sucker punched Sodrel in the kidney (sent him to the floor) when Sodrel went to shake his hand...

I am looking for someone who was there to confirm or deny the story

anti-Hill bump :-)

Kinda doubt it happened, it would've made to much news. But I await an on-the-spot report ...

I'll wait until I have a story to post, but in today's debate in a tighter-than-expected race (IN-07), Progressive Caucus member Julia Carson walked out in the middle of the debate, complaining about "negative" ads ("I don't feel comfortable," blah, blah, blah). The ad in question shows her face, and says that she paid her own taxes late TEN times, voted against Bush on Iraq, and for tax increases. That's it. It did not mention her drug-dealing grandson, or any of a host of other shady issues that surround her. Let's hope this is another Dem implosion (not that it will matter in urban Indy).

Brose McVey is going to win this race. Carson has always been somewhat nonchalant in her campaigning, relying on fraud and corrupt poll workers and flunkies to deliver the vote. But McVey is a gamer and making the numbers work in the redrawn 7th. Could be a huge upset. Every decent American gains if she goes down.

i thought it would be over the news too.. the person i heard it from said they call the courier journal but they would not send anyone out to investigate.. sounds a little 'out there' to me too.. thats why i was hoping someone from FR was at the debate

If its true that carson might lose, I think its the best news I have heard all day. Does anyone know how hostetler is doing?

Her grandson also was accused and, I think, convicted of entering some Mexican men's apartment and beating them up just because he didn't like them.
