Dumezich for US House Indiana 1st?
From @daltonsbriefs of Porter County PoliticsNW Indiana - Dumezich for House?
I’ll start the conversation here, and then round robin to some of our other great conservative sites in the state. Of course you're welcome to engage the same topic on twitter as well (@daltonsbriefs)
I believe that Dan Dumezich should re-think his options and run instead against Pete Visclosky for the first district seat.
- Dan can raise money, both inside and outside the district
- Dan has a strong and well known name in the district and has recently put old turf wars with current Lake County GOP chair behind them
- Pete is as weak as he’s going to be, with PMA lobbying money scandal and having to remove himself from position of earmark power
- The voters in the first district are getting pretty sick of calls for increased taxes to bail out Gary and the northern Lake County communities.
- If Dan wins, we pick up a seat no one thought would ever go R. If he loses by 4-5 points, he is the logical successor to Senator Lugar who will I’m sure soon retire.
I’ll let you the readers tell me I’m all wet, that’s fine, since that’s the primary goal of this site and other similar ones. But, before you cry ‘impossible’ think carefully about the possibilities. Who else can knock off Pete?
