Joe Donnelly (IN-2) is feeling pretty cocky. Normally a closely contested district, it was made safer for Dems after the 2000 census cost Indiana a seat. Formerly held by Dem Tim Roemer (9-11 Commission “fame”) and Republican Chris Chocola (now President of Club for Growth), Donnelly won the seat in 2006 with 54% of the vote. The Obama election swamped his competition in 2008 (Luke Puckett- solid candidate, but under funded), winning re-election with 67% of the vote. I wouldn’t rule out his defeat in 2010, though. Also, either Hill or Ellsworth further south might be vulnerable....

Ellsworth had made it crystal clear where he stands. There is no blue on that dog.
He can’t continue to masquerade as a conservative anything.
