Seventh District race gets dirty [Carson, IN-07]

Dickerson was in the Marine Corps. I'm thinking he's up for this fight. :-) And for those who don't know it, two recent polls show a statistical dead heat (Dickerson leads in one, Carson in the other).

This cant be true because only rats are running vets for congress and no rats are in a tough fight

[LS]

If they're covering it, she's in trouble. Carson, Barrow, Marshall, and Bean are four Dem seats we will pick up. There are others starting to fall. Stay tuned.

[Coop]

The Dems are starting to take notice.

[italianquaker]

Sounds good to me

""I didn't authorize it," said Carson. "I told them no negatives in this campaign and they dropped that piece anyway. I feel very, very bad about that."

Well now I have this bridge in CA, anyone wanna buy it?

How to interpret headlines by the MSM...

If the headline claims a fight is getting dirty... that means the Republican is pulling ahead.

If the headline claims the campaign is going strong..that means the Democrat is ahead.

When Pres Bush or Laura campaign for a candidate, they are "showing desperation"

When Clinton campaigns for a candidate, they are "showing support"

[Sir Hailstone]

You know what a Marine calls a situation where you have 500 in your company and you're surrounded by 5000 enemy troops? "A Fair Fight".

Eric will be on WTHR-13 at 7:30 AM Sunday.

HOOAH!

And Diana Irey has raised around $100K in the past few weeks, plus had a nice appearance on Kirby Wilbur's radio show this morning. He gave her a contribution, and urged his listeners to do the same. That will help keep her new TV and radio ads on the air. Combine that with a highly charged volunteer base and an arrogant incumbent who can't even be bothered to campaign in his own district, and PA-12 could well flip.

Yes, I would still rate Irey as an underdog. But not by much.

Being an Indy residents I know that an even contest isn't enough. Eric will have to win the real vote by 8-10% to overcome Miss Julia's voter fraud.

[Coop]

Hopefully your new voter ID requirement cuts down significantly on said fraud. Keep the faith!

[Kimmers]

I wish I could vote for the guy. I hear him on Garrison and I am so impressed with him. He is a smart articulate man and I think finally there is someone that may be be able to beat Julia.

Semper Fi

[Coop]

Semper Fi bump!

[Kimmers]

Yup.....sure love those Marines!!!!!

[southernindymom]

Absolutely fabulous news!!!!!! We don't get any news from the rest of the state down here. All we hear is how WONDERFUL Brad Ellsworth is from the newspapers and TV. I sooooooooooo want Hostettler to win, just to see them all sulk, pout and cry that somehow it was stolen.

[Coop]

'nother bump

[Coop]

Yeah, I'm worried about Hostettler. His numbers pretty much stink given that his district went 61% for Dubya two years ago. But he's still fighting!

[southernindymom]

I"ve donated to her campaign also. I told the RNC that I'd only donate to specific candidates this year, they kept calling and calling for money. I told the caller that when the RNC grew a pair and found their spine, I'd contribute to the party, otherwise, I'd support individuals. They haven't called me back :)

[Coop]

Good for you! Thanks for supporting Diana and Eric - two scrappy underdogs that just might pull the upsets. I'm gonna ping you to some pictures you might enjoy. :-)

Just got off the phone with my cousin. We don't usually talk politics. She brought it up this time She' been talking to the neighbors....Many had voted for JC in the past. They won't be this time...Her comment. "Julia is old and sick....Why is she even running?.....She should just come home to die!"

I smiled.
