First let me say that I have lived in Indiana my entire life and I have always been a Democrat. As some of you may know Mitch Daniel's is the Governor of Indiana. He was W's Director of Management and Budget and during his watch in 2002 he cut funding for Hurricane Katrina despite the protest of the army corps of engineers. So, in short, Mitch Daniel's is a crony and a douche!

However, sadly, I don't think we have much chance of defeating Governor Daniel's this November. The Democratic nominee is Jill Long Thompson who has a long and excellent public service record and is someone of high character. Unfortunately she is being killed in the fund-raising department and her ad's on TV are embarrassingly bad. Also, and perhaps most seriously, her campaign manager is a complete joke and lacks any sort of message discipline.

My point is that we, my fellow Hoosiers, need to work to get progressive Democrats in the State House to prevent further damages by the Daniel's administration such as his privatization plans and continued cronyism. Sadly, we cannot rely on Jill Long Thompson to win in November. If you ask me Daniel's stands a great chance of being re-elected which is sad because I think November 4th is going to be a really good day for Democrats across the country, but bad for Indiana.
