Indiana could lose three Repuke House seats.

[longship]

That's right, three House seats in very red Indiana (12th most Repuke state) could flip to the Dems this November.

IN-2 -- Incumbent Repuke Chris Chocola v. Dem. Joseph Donnelly -- Donnelly could easily win this seat. Most vote counters place this as either toss-up or weak Dem gain. This is a rematch of the 2004 race.

IN-8 -- Incumbent Repuke Hostettler v. Dem. Brad Ellsworth. County Sheriff Ellsworth is raising funds like crazy and easily out-pacing Hostettler in that metric. As things sit right now, Hostettler is going to lose his seat.

IN-9 -- Incumbent Repuke Mike Sodrel v. Dem. Baron Hill. Hill lost his seat to lunatic Sodrel in 2004, so this is another Indiana House rematch. An early internal poll had Hill up 48-38. A recent poll from Research 2000 has the race a bit tighter, but Hill is still up by six, 46-40. The 40% has got be worrisome for the Sodrel campaign, especially since Hill is keeping pace raising money.

2. God, I would give anything to get rid of Hostettler.

I am so sick of that slimy bastard and his slanderous campaigns. I also can't stand his far right fundy base that turns out for him every two years.

Ellsworth had better get off his ass and start spending some of that war chest of his. Hostettler and the NRCC are already throwing a mountain of slime.

3. Pardon me for temporarily hijacking this thread

I just want to remind people to contact their Representative to voice their opposition to the Public Expression of Religion Act introduced by Hostettler which would do an end-run around the 1st Amendment's Establishment Clause.

4. No problem.

It's a :kick: isn't it?

Also, hijacking for such a good reason is always allowed. ;-)

8. I will not believe any of this good news until I actually see it

If this is happening in Indiana then there is a good chance DimSon will have a much different congress to work with in the next 2 years of his misadministration
