He managed to put lipstick on the pig of the record of higher taxes and the sale of assets to make himself into the candidate of change in a change election. <BR/><BR/>In the end, folks decided that the economics didn't dictate changing horses midstream. Thus, they sent Mitch back to office overwhelmingly.<BR/><BR/>Jill Long Thompson was absent from the scene throughout the formative months of the campaign after a hard fight in the primary. Her campaign was dysfunctional and not supported, in my view, at the highest levels of the party due to residual effect from the nasty primary. The Indiana Democratic Party turned over its keys to the Obama folks. The thought, I think, was that Obama's coattails would carry Thompson in.<BR/><BR/>Turns out...the party targeted the Presidential race, the House race, and the AG race. Two out of three ended up going in their favor. Obama's coattails weren't long enough to even bring JLT close. In the end, the lasting impression of JLT was what folks saw in the debate...and that wasn't a very good impression.<BR/><BR/>Jill's argument was...vote for me because I won't do what Mitch did. That didn't work.<BR/><BR/>Election to Mitch.Jon Easterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02463536746233150209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-92124023628680536962008-11-13T05:35:00.000-05:002008-11-13T05:35:00.000-05:00Democrat Socialist hate anyone who even hints at capping taxes. In their blissninnie wonderland, taxes are the key to moving towards a Borg type country/world (of course a select few elites, themselves, are excluded from having to be equal to everyone else). Anyone who dares threaten to cut off the tax revenue is an enemy to their cause. Maybe we should give them what they want. Maybe Jen won't mind paying $20K/year in property taxes. I mean surely she thinks she should be paying her fair share?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-63742459557044286842008-11-12T23:29:00.000-05:002008-11-12T23:29:00.000-05:00I work for the State and appreciate the fact that Governor Daniels makes my fellow State workers actually work. My pay has gone up dramatically under Governor Daniels and am proud to have voted for him AGAIN!Zookeeper29https://www.blogger.com/profile/13111411795090219741noreply@blogger.com
