Red State ^ | 2-15-10 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 02/15/2010 2:38:14 PM PST by joinedafterattack

From Politico: "It would be something close to a nightmare scenario for Democrats: were D’Ippolito to qualify for the ballot, she would be the likely nominee and the party would be left to face the GOP with a political neophyte ...." Read this story at RedState.com and contact everyone you know in Indiana to sign the petition tomorrow to get this lady on the ballot.

Uh, isn’t that what lots of Freepers did in 2008? Fearful that Hillary would be elected there was push to get the inexperienced Obama on the ticket?

This is really stupid, folks.

Here’s the deal:

Bayh (D-IN) announced his retirement the day before the deadline for a democrat to collect enough signatures to enter the primary race. By doing so, national dems can handpick whatever candidate they want to be the dem nominee since nooone else can qualify in time.

Here’s the kicker, some unknown dem was actually close to qualifying and, if they do qualify, the dems will not be able to put their handpicked candidate on the ballot.

LOL....it’s probably too late, but it would be funny if she was the dem candidate. The IN dem. party are counting on being able to pick their own after the primaries are over.

FOX just reported she only needs a thousand names to qualify.....She should be able to get that by going to the campus for a few hours.

Everyone google for Tea Party groups in Indiana and email them. Get the word out and get them in motion, but FAST.

According to a comment in the RedState article, here's the skinny:

.........Word around the state is that D’Ippolito needs about 1000 signatures, especially out of the 8th district around Evansville (This is Brad Ellsworth’s seat.)

Here’s the deal:

If D’Ippolito gets on the ballot, that’s it. She’s the nominee. The Democrats won’t be able to challenge it or caucus to get another candidate on the ballot. They won’t be albe to get Ellsworth to run or any other viable Democrat.

Another blog on this call to action. From Hoosierpundit Get Tamyra D'Ippolito on the Ballot

Tamyra D'Ippolito, who was attempting to mount a primary challenge to Evan Bayh. According to the Indiana Daily Student, she only needs 1,000 or so signatures. On a Bloomington political discussion forum, she says that she needs signatures in particular from the 8th District.

The form to get her signatures is available here.

You do not need to be in contact with the campaign to get signatures. Just print the above form, get signatures of registered voters on it, and get it turned in to your county clerk's office by noon tomorrow (February 16).

There is not a lot of time. Bayh declined reelection at the last possible minute so that no Democrat would be on the ballot for Senate in Indiana, and thus Democratic Party insiders (largely Bayh cronies) would pick who is on the ballot in November.

If Tamyra D'Ippolito is on the ballot, then that's all she wrote. They can't pick anyone else. She will be their nominee, period.


Go to the Hoosierpundit link to get the forms.

I am sorry, but Redstate has banned people who disagree with them on certain subjects (like LGF). Therefore, they have been banned from my system.
