I voted straight ticket - no reason not to based on who was running. The ONLY one that gave me pause was Chard in the 5th district. He’s Libertarian and I appreciated his candid and articulate explanations of his position. I get really frustrated with the canned messaging of the larger campaigns and love it when people talk like a real person (even in writing). Unfortunately there were a couple of deal breakers for me. Rupert shot himself in the foot with his compromising language on abortion. The issue is polarizing because it deals with life. Either be for or against it but don’t be lukewarm on it. And if you are don’t tell me about it because you will lose my vote every time.
Frapster, you asked about Bennett for Superintendent of Public Instruction yesterday, and I was going to reply but the servers got clogged up.
I met Bennett at our GOP Club; he’s very energetic. Taught & coached at Scottsburg, where my wife is from. Very much not an NEA hack, as his opponent would be. Favors local choice in schools, and wants to reward success and punish failure instead of the union way. I’m confident with him in that post.
