I think Marion Co is trending more, and more Republican lately (I predict with hardwork- a “pick-up”).
Actually, a lot of the former hard core Dems (namely the black population) have moved to areas of Indianapolis outside the 7th. It’s all dependent upon how much of the Republican vote we can turn out.
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.
