Being a Hoosier, I can't understand Carson's stranglehold.
Even local TV is playing the sympathy card for her just before election.
Carson is absolutely the dumbest, most unqualified elected official I have seen in my life. She wins only by courting the racist voters of Center Twp, Marion County. It's astounding that the Star (once a great paper, now a Gannett rag) endorsed her. On the bright side, the state legislature gave her a somewhat safe district by excluding Pike and Lawrence Twps, thus making the GOP vote of the surrounding districts even stronger.
My husband and I were just discussing (laughing about!) Julia Carson at breakfast this morning. We don't get it either. Fortunately, she is not our representative.
