Frugal Hoosiers reminds us that the investigation into Congressman Pete Visclosky's earmark projects, and resulting political donations, continues. Our own 1st District Congressman may or may not be indicted sometime in the future, and yet there appears to be a philosophy that he's "safe" and will be re-elected no matter. Many local politicians are even reluctant to consider a challenge, feeling that his iron clad steel union support dooms any would be challenger.
We’ve said before that despite his legal troubles, only an indictment and PMA Pete Visclosky being led away in handcuffs would be enough for him to lose in his gerrymandered Congressional district.
With each week that passes, that become more and more of a possibility.
Are there any other names out there for this seat? I remember some talk back a few years ago that Democrats might put up a strong name to run against Pete in his primary.
