Just saw my first Romney commercial here in Indiana...Not for the Romney campaign, but actually

Romney, stumping for Mourdock for Senator. Wasn't just an "I approve this message" ad, but Mitt himself. Election day can not come soon enough.

was only posting because of Mitt's face on my TV. Little did I know Mourdock had stepped on his political appendage in debate. Loving the attention...You are right, perfect timing.

A "friend" of mine is working for Mourock's campaign. I have had two years worth of heated debate with him on FB, and finally unfriended him, after 30 years. Mourdock is an opportunist. Luckily for us, my "friend" and his tea party brethren knocked of Lugar (a senior statesman), for this guy. Donnelly, the D opponent, has a real chance here. I still am hoping the coattails have an effect on other races as well. Mike Pence is running for Governor, and he's just as bad. God, I just don't know how much longer I can live here.

Should Bill make another visit to help Donnelly?

either changed, or else I was way off, and I was disheartened. Indiana went for Obama last time, but I've been told over and over that it won't this time. At any rate, we have a very competitive Senate race here, and with the Governor's race also, I just can't see there not being a strong Democratic turnout. Who is helping who? Not sure. But Clinton was here stumping, and I still in the back of my mind hope it's a sleeper state for sure. We can't afford Mourdock, and we sure can't afford tea-partier Mike Pence as Governor. GOTV, Indiana! Polls are open now! (I'm voting one day this week).
