Apparently some unknown Dem is trying to get the signatures to make the ballot. If she makes it, it would apparently rob the party of the chance to appoint a candidate. Do you think it's worthwhile to help her out?

LOL....now that would be funny AND a smart move. Doesn't sound like there's enough time left, (noon tomorrow) though.

The Demo cannot “appoint” a new senator. Evan Bayh is finishing out his term and then a new senator will take his place after the regular midterm election in November.

While it would be hilarious and would help out the GOP immensely by saving them money on this race, on the other hand letting the Dem state party select a candidate allows us to possibly destroy a ‘name’ in a good year, staining one of their best candidates.

Still though, I’d rather do the sure thing and crush the unknown. Why waste time on Indiana in a year when we can put the screws to Chuck Schemer or Barbara Boxer?
