Would Mellencamp have to be a write-in candidate?

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Mellencamp could be the Hoosier version of Al Franken.

My exact thoughts too, but I could be wrong.

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?

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.

Mellencamp has recently said that Obama and Clinton are not liberal enough. That is why DU and Daily KOS has been pushing for him to enter the race since Bayh announced he is retiring.

If Mellencamp was able to run, I think he would win it hands down. He would have a chance, but I would put it at slim. Mellencamp is a far-leftist loose canon and I doubt the Democrats would put him out there. He is like Frankin, but Indiana is not a left wing state like Minnesota.
