Lord save us from plebecites and recalls...we elect people to serve for defininitve terms. Absent impeachable offenses or health reasons, they ought to stay in office through their terms. As a stunning example to us that the ballot box is no quick fix. We need to think seriously about the candidates we elect.

Corruption isn't the number one problem. For these state legislators it ought to be the economy, stupid. Our economy nationally is held to gether with chewing gum and $400 billion in war expenditures trickling down through various defense contractor/subcontractor networks.

In this state, we're painfully switching form a manufacturing based economy to a I-don't-know economy.

I can't vote for all three of these candidates, but thanks, AI, for a thorough reporting job.

By contrast, Matt's column tomorrow will probably consist of 12-15 paragraphs he could've written in a few minutes with zero legwork.

I am so lucky! My Indiana Representative is John Day, my Indiana Senator is Billie Breaux. I have never found a reason to disagree with their votes - I just have to keep telling them to keep up their good work. Both do stellar jobs!

You know what is amazing? That corruption wasn't the number 1 issue for these politicians. My God, after reading the post about the Hoosier Lottery I am shocked that this wasn't a priority. Also, they worry about Voter ID problems, yet more serious problems exist such as its illegal to have recall elections in Indiana. What good is voting when you can't kick out corrupt politicians who dont do their job! Why are we in a mess? Because the people have no clue as to what should be fixed!! We are in trouble!
