Dems are running scared in Indiana’s 2nd congressional district
There has been reports of push-polling in Indiana’s 2nd congressional last night. The caller asked if the person planned on voting for Joe Donnelly, and if not, why. Then they were asked if they would vote for Jackie Walorski. If they answered yes, they were told lots of negative information about Jackie, calling here an “ultra conservative” and that she supported the toll road “give-away,” a lie. It wasn’t given away. They then asked if they would still vote for her. That’s standard push-polling, bar none. But it gets more interesting then that.
I've met Jackie and if these callers think that voters will be scared off by terms like "ultra-conservative" or "tea partier" then Joe may have missed the last 18 months. You'll love the last part too, the callers insist that the respondents support the Libertarian no-namer if they really want smaller government. Joe sounds scared doesn't he?

It looks like somebody is getting into trouble in the 2nd Congressional district. Although he’s a blue dog Democrat, that might not be of much help to Rep. Joe Donnelly in a year when issues are driving the discussion and the Democrat brand has been damaged by a liberal president with plummeting approval ratings and an unpopular liberal agenda in Congress. After handily riding the anti-Republican wave to victory in 2006, and taking advantage of Democrat tailwinds in 2008, Donnelly is finding out that now that his record is under scrutiny and voters are more tuned in to issues like ObamaCare, the national debt, and failed bailouts, he may not survive in November.
