OK...
Here we go:
SENATE- Hostetler stands a RAT’S CHANCE against Bayh, who already has a $12 million dollar warchest, and a 66% approval rating, as of last month.
There are only three names that could even be competitive against him, and only one of those would win.
MITCH DANIELS....
Of the other two, Lt. Gov. Becky Skillman would be the most likely to give Bayh a run, but would never be able to match his money. She will most likely be put forward as Daniels replacement in 2012.
William Weaver has been mentioned on many blogs as a possible candidate, and as the Popcorn heir, can self-finance, but I think he’s unlikely.
HOUSE RACES-
IN7:
The one Democrat that needs to go the most is ANDRE CARSON, the radical Muslem no one knows about.
Most people in Indianapolis don’t even KNOW they are represented in Congress by a radical Muslem, because local media is afraid to mention it!!
That said, the Republican Bench in Indianapolis isn’t very deep, and the Durham Scandal is starting to have casualties, like Brizzi.
IN2:
This could be the “Big One”. And a great opportunity to steal one from the Democrats(Machine Dem Joe Donnelly).
Jackie Walorski is a popular and involved Republican State Rep.,(Asst. Republican Floor Leader).

The Bloody 9th:
Baron “I don’t care what the voters think” Hill is a complete disaster for the State, and desperately needs to go.
Todd Young, a young attorney from Bloomington, has been campaigning for months, and former Congressman/Perennial Candidate Mark Sodrel just announced Tues. that he will run again.
There have been a lot of rumblings coming out of the 8th, (Evansville, SW Indiana) as well. Ellsworth may be a one-termer.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:
Fundraising reports are just coming out for the 2010 statehouse races, and it seems to be VARY bad news for the Dems, and SEIU-owned House Speaker Pat Bauer. Money is POURING in to a lot of Republican Statehouse Candidate coffers, even in previously unopposed Dem Districts!

“Baron “I don’t care what the voters think” Hill is a complete disaster for the State, and desperately needs to go.”
I couldn’t agree more, and I will work hard when his official opponent declares.
Have you seen Barons sophomoric billboard along I-65 north near Seymour?
“Baron Hill didn’t start global warming but it’s his job to stop it” is the text over a dual shot of cornfields next to factories.
Your tax dollars at work.
