Would Mellencamp have to be a write-in candidate?

[bmwcyle]

John is down right stupid. He can write music and that is about it.

[John D]

Would Mellencamp have to be a write-in candidate?

I think that since no dem got enough signatures the party leadership picks their candidate. Like the Republicans did in the NY congressional race.

[Doogle]

Forget the blah-blah-blah about celebrities in politics. We crossed that bridge decades ago.

crossing bridges doesn't necessarily mean your on the right road

[tommyboy]

...or possibly a write-off candidate?

[rlmorel]

I used to like his music, but after hearing the guy spout off, I am not even interested anymore.

[Irenic]

If Mellencamp was able to run, I think he would win it— hands down.

He’s left but I don’t see him as the type to be bought off or be corrupt.

I think he would be more old-school Dem. jmo

[mware]

This may not go anywhere.

As of right now it is just a face book page that is pushing for him to enter the race.

Evan has been considered a moderate in a moderate/right state.

Mellencamp has recently said that Obama and Clinton are not liberal enough.

[Recon Dad]

Mellencamp could be the Hoosier version of Al Franken.

I was talking witha business associate in Indiana just yesterday, and she said that both Mellencamp and Larry Byrd would be very formidable candidates for elective office. Is Larry Byrd a Dim?

[mylife]

Oh boy! Al Franken and Frog Jaguarmelonball as sitting Senators.

What a country.

[Eye of Unk]

Was he somebody important?

You know I’m amazed more people havn’t been appalled at the ads shown during the Daytona race week of Toyota calling for ideas of a “build it your way” race car scheme, and they were harping on the sympathy, cute and cuddly cards with race cars plastered with kittens, baby seal pups and other fantasy images.

Undoubtedly millions will take the flashy spinning hypnotic lure in their mouths, its human nature to look for ideology through images either by sight or sound.

But establishing political figures solely based upon their tenure on radio stations is tacky to say the least.

[taildragger]

Some of the photos from his glam-band days will make a lot of people go ewww, and then he is toast....

[xzins]

Must think Indianans are as stupid as Minnesotans.

[gusopol3]

Why the name recognition alone might get him 3 %. And , man, if he can sing... (can he?)

[Caipirabob]

Indiana’s own version of “Al Franken” sans talent?

[Non-Sequitur]

The Democrats could certainly do worse. And probably will.

[tcrlaf]

Mellencamp??
Sure, why not...

A Drug-addicted Drunk who hangs with internationally-wanted pedophiles and child porn peddlers, who also happens to be an ex-rock star would be the perfect Democrat Candidate.

For California.....
It won’t fly in Indiana.

[Birdsbane]

First the Senate, then The Pink House...

[Kozak]

Brother. Maybe it’s time to repeal the 17th Amendment. I give Minnesota and “Senator” Franken as exhibit A.....
