The problem in a district like this is that a Republican could win it if the Republicans would come to the polls. But many don’t bother to vote any more.

I don't know how unusual that is out of a population of 535-if you include the members of the U.S. Senate.

It does seem large at first glance, but you have to remember that cancer and heart disease are two of the leading causes of death in this country.

So that's why they wanted to tax our cigarettes...

Jokes aside, maybe they should take a look at the current number of deaths from cancer and heart disease before trying to pull delayed-care, inexperienced-doctor-run, socialized medicine over our heads.

You would think, wouldn't you?

Dealing with crappy hospitals and inept-bordering on criminal-administrators is bad enough as it is-as my family can attest to-but I can't imagine the trauma of having to navigate a wholly socialist, single payer leviathan like they have in Canada.

Prayers up for her family. Any loss is hard, but a relatively sudden one is heartbreaking.

I can only imagine how painful that must be. I don’t know what else to say. Be strong.

There are a lot of deaths in Congress because they continue running to have power.
Many like Byrd and Kennedy should have retired a very long time ago.
Worthless dottering old fools.

I hope she went to Heaven because is she went to the other place, she will be surrounded by the followers of al-Lah in unending “peace al-Lah-al_Qaeda”.

Eric Dickerson?

Is the same Eric Dickerson who played in the NFL back in the 80’s?

“Eric Dickerson?

No. This Eric Dickerson was a local car dealer and more recently an automotive collision center owner.

this district is probably just out of reach except for extraordinary circumstances. The only reason the Republican ran close last time was because of the incumbents poor health.

God bless her and her family. May she rest in peace.

I am not so sure her health was the only reason it was close. But it should have been the extra reason she was defeated. As it turns out, she has only cast a few votes since she was re-elected.

Indianapolis has taken a hard right in the past year as a result of local government and the representation there of. Indy is much of her district. Ms. Carson was one of those that was pushing hardest left for many years. She won her election, I believe, as a result of the representative boundaries that are her district.

It is not my place to judge her personally and I believe she is as much of God's family as any other mortal. Her beliefs and mine are diametrically opposite. For the good of her constituency, however, the most honorable thing she could have done would have been to resign instead of run for reelection. Her motives seemed purely political. And that is not judging her person or soul. It is stating my opinion of her professional expertise.

Again, Rest in Peace.

As far as Eric Dickerson (the 2006 candidate) goes, he’s not said anything about the race. He’s been busy with personal business. One viable candidate for Congress is announced and that is State Rep. Jon Elrod.

Jon Elrod is a very viable candidate. He has my vote when we go to caucus.

Do you even know who you are talking about? Meet Jo-Ann Davis, 57, Republican of Virginia :

Meet Rep. Paul Gilmore, of Ohio :

I am sorry she passed from this terrible disease.

I hope, as an Indiana resident, that Indianapolis elects a wonderful, dedicated republican to replace this long term democrat who truly stayed in office too long.
