Explain to me this.

You know Mike Pence. Here is the Wiki bio of his opponent.

John R. Gregg (born September 6, 1954) is an American politician, attorney and author. He was a state representative in the Indiana House of Representatives from 1986–2002. He served as Speaker of the Indiana House from 1996–2002 and Majority Leader from 1990–1994. Gregg was named “Public Official of the Year” in 2002 by Governing Magazine. He is a member of the Democratic Party.

Gregg was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in 1992, 1996, 2000 and 2008. He served as Honorary Chairman of the Hillary Clinton for President, Indiana Campaign.

Gregg has not held political office since 2002. And in Indiana, Pence won 49-46.

Oh and in the money battle.

“MUNCIE, IN - The money race for Indiana’s next governor will clearly be won by Republican Congressman Mike Pence, while it will take a party split and an extraordinary candidate for Democrats to win statewide in 2012, according to veteran political pundit Ray Scheele.

Campaign finance reports released Monday showed that Democrat John Gregg made some progress in raising cash by tripling his contributions in the last three months and amassing a $3 million campaign war chest. About $1.7 million of that has been raised since March.

Pence has nearly $10 million raised and $3 million of that was in the last three months. That amounts to 7,740 donors and 76 percent coming from Hoosiers.”

Way back when, Mike Pence was who I wanted to run.

Still do.

This is what I’ve been saying for a long time. The Republican party has been taken over by cross-over democrats.
