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.
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.
Eric Dickerson?
Is the same Eric Dickerson who played in the NFL back in the 80’s?
Jon Elrod is a very viable candidate. He has my vote when we go to caucus.
