Didn't he (as an incumbent) nearly lose his House seat to a fairly unknown Jackie Walorski last time?
Yep, it was very, very close. And the only reason he won was that the state Dems had jerrymandered his congressional district to include all of the heavily Demo St. Joe County in the previous redistricting. Well, the Pubs had the majority in the legislature this time and they cut his butt out of the action. Elections do have consequences.
The Repubs are running Congressman Mike Pence for Gov this year and he is a lock. There’s no way that Indiana will go for the Obozo again so I suspect the tidal wave will carry Mourdock along with it.
I’ve met Ms. Walsorski several times. Daughter of a South Bend firefighter, accomplished state legislator and usually packs a hand gun. Gotta love that!
