IN-08 (as Mr. Perennially Underfunded tries to win again)
IN-09 (rematch time!
I think these two will stand or fall together now.
I actually would apply that to all three, frankly. Indiana has a history of turning over Congressional delegations in one fell swoop, anywho, but only these three are really interesting this year.
Isn't one strong GOP candidate going to be blocked by some sort of sore-losers rule?[/quote]
The Attorney General (R) ruled that the sore-loser law doesn't apply to her. Of course, it'll be taken to the Ohio Supreme Court I'm sure (no higher), where we'll find out what the robes think. I haven't actually read the statute in question, so my knowledge of the facts is kinda weak.
If she's not on the ballot, anyway, some other GOP person will be (this isn't Texas) and the GOP bench in that area is decently strong. They should be able to get a respectable candidate.
Amusingly the Republican candidate here has some ethics troubles of his own.

Ya, I saw that. Pretty stupid, though we'll see how it works in the actual campaign. I really don't (and continue to not) understand why people lie about their education degrees/military service, etc., when that stuff is so easily researchable and disproven. Makes no sense.
