Indiana Dem. Candidates "suspend" campaigning "out of respect"...
In memory of the Late Frank O'Bannon...

OK....So when will Mitch Danniels announce that he's doing the same? Oh, that's right, I forgot. Karl has told all the ReTHUG contenders to drop out and get behind Mitch. He doesn't NEED to campaign yet. And at this rate, he won't nee to campaign at all.

Do Joe and Vi really think this is "what Frank would've wanted"? Has anybody told them yet that they have a name recognition problem? I know of Vi Simpson because I recognize her as a state senator from down south, but Joe Andrews? I had to "google" "indiana democrat gugernatorial candidates" to come up with his name.

If you were to ask 100 Hoosiers, I'd bet at least 85 could tell you who Mitch Danniels is and what his last job was workin' for the Dub. I would say that maybe 50% could name both Joe and Vi.

I understand the sentiment behind their announcement, I just question, in the face of Rovian opposition, its wisdom.

BTW, I am NOT a "Republican plant", so stop saying that!

1. Sounds like typical Democratic strategy
Stop fighting and claim the moral high ground while your opponent kicks your teeth in.
