GOP darkhorse wins Indianapolis mayor's race

[Democratic Hawk]

From what I heard, the GOP did pretty damn well all over Indiana last night.

Seemingly, not in the south west they didn't

I'll gladly take the Mayorship of the City of Indianapolis over a few small towns.

Crivens, they are small as well

BTW, you can add Indianapolis City-County Council too. It's now Republicans 17 (+3); Democrats 12 (-3). Apparently, some pundits have described Ballard's win as the biggest political upset in Indiana's history. There seems to have been a big backlash against recent tax hikes

Carson is unbeatable though as long as her district stays within the hub of the city. I bet Bart Peterson actually carried Carson's district.

It would seem that the constituent parts of Marion County: Beech Grove, Indianapolis, Lawrence, Southport and Marion County elect their own mayors

And if Indianapolis is more or less the same as Carson's district, then Ballard won
