I am Barry Welsh amd I am the Democratic Candidate for United States Congress in Indiana’s 6th District. I am also a long time member of the Netroots Nation.

A quick update from the campaign:

We held the Indiana State Democratic Party Convention this past weeekend.

There are reports at most of the great Indiana blogs, including, but not limited too; Blue Indiana which I highlight and link because that page links other fine Indiana blogs and reports.

I wanted to post this yesterday, but catching up with obligations did not allow me to finish writing.
I returned back to Indiana Wednesday night and this was started yesterday. BW

For those that do not know, I am Barry Welsh and I am the Democratic Congressional Candidate in Indiana’s 6th District and a longtime member of the Netroots.

Last night I had a unique opportunity. I sat at a table with five patriots.
I listened as they talked on their individual expertise with passion. I could not help but think back over the history of this nation, and how many times conversations like the one I was listening to became a spur to progress. From the revolution that brought the birth of this nation, to the industrial revolution, to the technological revolution, all were fueled by the passion of progressive visionaries.

(Cross posted from EENR)

Things have been hectic since we had our voter explosion in the primary. For those that don't know, here in this district of Indiana, my opponent had a decrease in his primary base of over 5500 voters in a Presidential year, and we had an increase of over 70,000 new voters across the district. We doubled my opponent's vote total when all was said and done. We have him in a position he has never been in before. It is an exciting and hopeful time here in East Central Indiana. Oh and also he keeps putting his foot in his mouth, so that doesn't hurt.

Final Numbers in the title Our base exploded His stayed home.

Update-Still 3 Counties to report in this district. For those that don't know this district, in 2004 the Primary results were Pence 61794 Fox 31231

I know the focus is on the Presidential and Gubernatorial here in the Hoosier state but...

There are still a few counties that haven’t posted, but things are looking good here in the 6th District of Indiana!

I have lost one out of 19 counties and that was by 300 votes.

I know the title sounds corny, but it is true.

First, I want to thank everybody in the Kos community and all of the Netroots Nation for the support and well wishes that have come my way because of this incident. I must give a HUGE personal thank you to sarahlane, pontio, bluestatemeant, JR, Daily Activist, Pioneer 111, along with everyone for their comments, and the great folks at EENR and Democrats.com.

Now, the story that has not been told is what happened in that meeting. Everything has been overshadowed by the violence, and what took place in the meeting itself needs to come out.

The story is not dying locally as the attacker is in the Muncie paper today calling the attack an "attention getter".

Republican registration worker calls attack an 'attention-getter'

"It (the attack on Werner) wouldn't have happened if you hadn't promoted it," Statom said. "When you promote illegal activities, there's ramifications."

He is blaming the newspaper!

I am writing to remind all of the good folks in Indiana to make sure you are registered to vote and that tomorrow, Monday April 7, is the last day to register for the May 6th Primary election. Call your county Democratic Party or go to your county courthouse or click here to download a form.

This Wednesday, General David Petraeus will testify before the House Foreign Relations Committee, upon which my opponent currently sits. See below for the campaign press release on this upcoming event.

Monday night, the Edwards Evolution Next Revolution group, formerly know as Edwards Evening News Roundup, the group of Edwards supporters that showed such heart and passion in support of John Edwards, endorsed our campaign here in Indiana and the campaigns of Gilda Reed and Larry Kissell.

I want to thank this great group of concerned citizens, and say a special thank you to sarahlane for taking the time to write that diary Monday night.

I was not available Monday night nor until late last night, and with the focus on the debate last night, I have waited until now to post this.

Yesterday the fireball of energy that is John McCain came through the state of Indiana.

Big Mac stopped in Indianapolis but didn’t campaign with the Republican in a special election that is just two weeks away. Hmmm. Either selfish on McCain’s part or the Repub must really suck. I choose both myself.

The Straight talker put a lid on LobbyGate at his presser, and is moving on as everyone has heard. He also gave some praise to my opponent in Indiana’s 6th Congressional District, Mike Pence, who has long been rumored for the VP spot, and that came up again.

The real news out of the stop in Indy though was that McCain showed his cards when it comes to healthcare. His plan below

The Associated Press is reporting that Senator Obama sneaked down to North Carolina and had a meeting with Former Senator and Presidential Candidate John Edwards.

CHICAGO (AP) -- Barack Obama sneaked down to North Carolina Sunday and met with former rival John Edwards, who has yet to make an endorsement in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Officials at North Carolina television station WTVD said they have video taken from a helicopter of Obama leaving Edwards' home in Chapel Hill. A producer said the station was "tipped off" about the meeting, but said the source was confidential.
