The state GOP is doing absolutely nothing for Ballard's campaign. What Clark did for Kelty last week was more of an effort than anything he's done for Ballard.Gary R.

That's not the same as highest. Do I detect a bit of Indy-centrism here? That if any other city is given equal priority with Indianapolis that somehow Indy is being shorted, because OF COURSE no other city can be even in the same league as Indianapolis.<BR/><BR/>Chill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-83665060277614009112007-09-02T22:48:00.000-05:002007-09-02T22:48:00.000-05:00Murray Clark just directed his actives with the knowledge in his mind what many people refuse to acknowledge. The Marion County GOP failed to field a serious candidate and therefore, there is no ball game. Plain and simple. It may be a little closer than thought a year ago but it is no contest. The GOP is playing the game the Dems in Indy used to play. Let's see if we can keep our loss below 50,000 votes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-71169636745596906772007-09-02T19:09:00.000-05:002007-09-02T19:09:00.000-05:00Although I'm not a Republican, I get no glee from this mess. Both parties, over time, have their Keltys to clean up.<BR/><BR/>But what exactly was the state chairman supposed to do?<BR/><BR/>He took one day out of his law practice, went to the Summit City, looked around, spat out basically rudamentary platitudes, hurt no one, and was home for dinner.<BR/><BR/>Not exactly what Gordon Durnil would've done, but hey, it's not 1980, either.<BR/><BR/>To me, it looks like Murray made nice and promised nothing. His party is gonna lose Ft. Wayne, and they should've won it. Their candidate is a loose cannon, and frankly, they'd be worse if he DID pull out a win.<BR/><BR/>This way, Murray can't be accused of abandoning the Allen County Party. He placated the far right Christian fundamentalists, which he needs next year.<BR/><BR/>The Allen County GOP sounds like the Marion County Democratic Party of the 70s: a circular firing squad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
