Good year to be a Democrat in IN.

[Adlai Stevenson]

Its odd that Donnelly is doing so well; Chocola has not been a particularly bad Congressman.  If anyone was going to lose like this I would have thought that it would be Hostettler in IN-8 but a lot of polls here have shown Donnelly leading Chocola by margins over 5%.

Hostettler is in a much-more friendly Republican CD than the other two. 

In fact, I would say Hostettler is the most likely of the three to win.

Although, I might disagree with you that the certainty the Dem will takeover the house, their chances are still 50% chance, Daniels  has low approvals all over the state and it makes it hard to be a republican even in heavily republican districts, the state had a Dem state legislature not too long ago. Daniels at 39% approvals is almost certain to go down if Tim Roemer runs against him in 08.
