Charlie White becomes first official 2010 candidate, in this case for Indiana Secretary of State. Todd Rokita cannot run again and this opens up a chance for Democrats to take a state-wide race, or Republicans to seat an up and comer statewide. Who do you want to see run?
In continuing efforts to confront Indiana welfare efforts:
That same group whose volunteers were caught in almost every battleground state this past fall, including Indiana, submitting fraudulent voter registration applications, plans to sue the State of Indiana because its welfare offices aren't doing enough to register to vote low-income persons applying for financial aid. Under the federal Motor Voter Law, state welfare offices and license branch offices are required to provide voter registration services to their clients, in addition to their primary functions.ACORN may be the wrong water carrier for this effort.
The next big election will be the special election in New York's 20th District, to fill the seat now open due to Democrats moving up a Representative to fill Hillary Clinton's Senate seat. The race will feature Democrat Scott Murphy a venture capitalist with ties to affordable housing against New York Assembly Minority leader Jim Tedisco. Watch for millions to be poured into this race, and as is normal for special elections only the activists and political devotees will turnout. I'll try and get campaign site links and post here later tonite.
