Protestors aligned with Hoosiers For Fair Taxation will demonstrate outside of the democratic fundraiser that targeted only minority business owners hinting that future city contracts might be in jeapordy if they don't support the dems in control.

The demonstrators plan to photograph and shoot video of every person who goes in and out of the fundraiser. All are welcome to join and bring your cameras.

Wednesday, October 3rd from 5:30PM-7PM at the offices of the Winston/Terrell Group (1449 North Pennsylvania Street in downtown Indianapolis).

1. Sherron Franklin's district is heavily republican. She only won because of republican corruption in the last election. She will lose big time this year.

2. Ike Randolph's seat will become a democratic seat this time. It should have been the last time but the Dems had a weak candidate who blew it.

Once again, Tully is all wet. How can someone who's wrong so often keep a job?

Specifically:

1. The at-large vote totals, in the 2003 primary and general, and the 2007 primary, showed the trailing councillor, by far and away, is King Ro.
I am aware of some neighborhood activists who are going to try to give him an extra push this year, whether it's an organized effort or not. That's due to his insistance that his inept wife be given a sensitive zoning job downtown...and she's effed it all up, badly. Zoning is near and dear to the hearts of these neighborhood activists. Mrs. C. has become a laughing stock--watchher on Ch. 16 sometime if you don't believe it. A complete joke.
So, it won't be Gibson who loses, if any D at-larges lose. Look up the vote totals. It'll be King Ro. Justifiably. And voters have to jump over Gibson and Boyd to vote for the ticket-leader among D at-larges, Joanne Sanders.
King Ro has never been that popular. He's a bully. And when you talk with him, well--there's nothing behind that baritone voice.

2. Angela has a tough opponent, but she'll win. She works her district hard, and has throughout her term. She's helped neighborhood groups and citizens all over her district. Her opponent is a great guy, from a prominent family, but she'll win.

3. Sherron will likely win, too, damn it. She isn't known among her district's voters, or they'd boot her.

Tully pulls this stuff out of his ass once a week. Why do people put so much faiht in it? He's rarely right.

As a life long Dem, I think the Dems will maintain control of the council but I will NOT vote for alcoholic abuser Ron Gibson even if that seats means the change in power. I think that there are 3 or 4 other pickups that the Dems can offset that with. I agree Sherron Franklin is a goner and should be...there is something wrong with her.........she needs medication or something.

gary, someone should find out why at-large Councilor King Ro Conley was booted from the damien center board. was it because he never attended a meeting or some other reason?

When you vote in November, flush twice.

2007-09-21T11:19:00.000-05:00

I agree, anon 11:10, that Hegg makes a good candidate. I don't want to speculate on why Tully singled out Smith over the other 3 candidates, although Smith makes a good candidate as well.

2007-09-21T11:10:00.000-05:00

I didnt read the Tully article, A/I. Did he elaborate as to why the GOP thinks that this Kent Smith is their best chance at picking up an at-large seat? What does he offer that the other 3 do not? I have read candidate Hegg(sp?) on this site and talked to him last night, and he has my vote, and I traditionally vote (D)!

Silly me. I thought the city-county council was supposed to make decisions for the good of the city-county . . . not the good of Republicans or Democrats.
