Abdul must never have received the memo of 2 Indiana incumbents, Rebecca Kubachi and Kathy Heur who were kicked out by the Indiana Tea Party voters, and somehow Abdul missed the previous Indiana Primary when Lugar also got the message. I'm surprised mortuaries haven't run out of caskets despite Abdul as one of many talking heads that have written multiple epitaphs for the Tea Party. Abdul's kinship to establishment figures is well known just as his wishful thinking often passes as his fact.

Guv, COA & SupCt nominees used 2b Joe's in at convention as well. IMHO, they should still be.

That's definitely the reason those offices exist, and that's why they were written into the constitution, the attorney general's office being the one exception. Those offices are chosen at the state convention rather than primary election to give the party leaders more control over who occupies those offices.

Those who deride the direct election of offices like auditor or treasurer ignore the Jacksonian Democrat heritage of Indiana. The Jacksonians believed that direct election of as many governmental posts as possible would make it more difficult for one officeholder (e.g. governor, housespeaker) to influence another.

1. The GOP party "endorsement" system is garbage. The GOP is out of touch with what the people want.
2. Beth "you can call me incompetent" White. LOL!!! I will never forget her saying that!
3. I am finally feeling better about filling in the little GOP circle on the ballot!

It;s an asinine political thing - for the people of Indiana it's pretty much a joke

If there's a free buffet anywhere, you can find Abdul stuffing himself.

If Abdul is weeping over Kelly Mitchell winning the nomination she must be worth something! I swear I have met Abdul and that man could make Ghandi slug him!

It must have some value; otherwise, guys like Bob Grand wouldn't work their butts off to control it.

who cares, it's just another ministerial post that ought not to have been made an elective office in the first place.
