Let’s hope Rourke starts and plays until IU is up 14-17 pts and then run the ball and have Jackson finish the game

It’s this kind of approach which ends up in getting statewide candidates like Kari Lake…twice.

She loses elections that ought to be very winnable…but at least she makes her supporters feel really good in the process.

I was in Bloomington 1990-1994. Pizza Express breadsticks after upstairs pub or video saloon were life changing

Notre Dame benefited from A&M beating LSU.

That win helps them more, than the N Illinois loss.

If we kept and beat #17 FPI Louisville, which we would have, we'd be in the top 8, and could absorb an OSU loss and still make the playoff.

I think when the Louisville game was cancelled the decision had already been made to fire Allen and they didn’t want the new coach to be saddled with that game. Nobody saw this coming with the exception being the guy they eventually hired.

I could be wrong. But I don’t see a candidate like that having enough popular support to win a primary.

His cohort has a lot of pull among delegates. And I think the GOP needs to do something about that. But I don’t think that translates into votes.

If it ever does, I’ll be voting Dem…as long as they put forth a reasonable candidate (in the mold of O’Bannon or Kernan). I’ve never been all that loyal of a Republican.

I support this statement. I never had a problem voting for the Holcombs or Daniels of the world. But once I know a candidate is tainted with (for example) rightwing Christian nationalism, and has support from people I think are nuts (one might be in this thread), I can't cross that bridge. I'm too much of a pragmatist.

I like how Indiana has been governed in recent history. I'm sure there are somethings I can nit pick, but overall I'm happy. The economy is growing, population is growing, taxes are reasonable, and passed school choice (and grown it). Are there any specific issues?

I was never a huge fan of Pence. He was pretty “meh” as a governor.

But Daniels was a rock star and Holcomb’s been quietly effective and efficient (if a bit unremarkable).

But the Republican Party is clearly undergoing a shift — and it’s not a good one.

McMurt hasn't seen his dick without a mirror in 10 years. It no longer emerges from the rolls of fat, according to the exes.

Sure, let's change the software right before or during the election..... but don't worry - they're not connected to the interwebz.

My question is: WTF kind of programming is needed to calculate votes. What else is going on with the software - what are the other functions are they supposed to do? And why are Dominion voting machines used to much in swing states?

This shit is getting old.

I don’t know Braun. But I’m very concerned about his political acumen because he was the only person in the room at the state GOP convention who didn’t know about the knife in his back. His administration could get run over by the legislature and his own Lt Governor.

My fear is that the ship has sailed. The establishment Rs lack the power to do it. Look at the reply in this thread trashing Lugar.

I helped retire him.
Didn't trash him at all.
The primary voters made the decision.
That's one problem with 'progressives '.
They use terms they don't understand.
Or in this case, just make shit up.
Like saying Micah Beckwith 'banned' books.

While I understand (and appreciate) the information about current mail-in voting totals, I'm not sure we should really be using 2020 as a basis when comparing early voting trends.
2020 was a crapfest in so many ways, and with Covid still running rampant, a larger percentage than usual was mail-in voting that year. I would think that trying to make comparisons between votes cast by this point then versus now has an inherent flaw in that society was operating in a completely different way back in those days.

Voter registration in Nevada is down to +8755 D. On Sept. 30th the gap was just short of 19k for the Ds. I don’t have a number for GOP voters now registered in Nevada. It was 574,270 on Sept 30th. I have this idea that pushing early voting (this is what the Ds have done so well since 2004) actually increases that party’s overall vote. It looks like to be that the GOP could have added 15,000 new voters since Oct 1st and since they are doing so during early voting it’s an actual vote. I was wrong about cannibalizing the vote in the past. I think we could seeing +500,000 GOP votes cast this year and the GOP is shy of 370,000 cast right now. There is a lot more potential GOP votes out there for IPEV (today), mail in ballots and EV.

Suzanne was a longtime local/county party activist and pol here. She served as County Auditor and Commissioner. Nice lady, but not much of a force electorally.

is there enough of a friendship between Mike and Pat that we don't run up the score in the 2nd half?
normally I would caution the fan base that an early exhibition game will be closer than anyone expects. but we did just beat UT at their place. so anything goes.

damn, had to look up "Marian college basketball coach". didn't know that.

Lt Governor doesn’t do much. My fear is that it legitimizes him as an electable candidate and he funds for Governor.

That's just silly.
No one 'took' anything from anyone.
If anything, the neocons hijacked the conservative piece.

Great memories. Wife to be and I were on the Banks of the Red Cedar that day. My memory tells me that late in the game IU was deep in their own territory and Harold Mauro (Monk) the Center was out. Anyway Steve (Plug) Applegate was in for him and Roger (Rebel) Grove was in as a blocking back. Reb threw a block that create enough of a hole that Isenbarger made a crucial 1st down. My memory also tells me the year before Bubba and his friends beat IU to a pulp.

Their presence requires the Governor to have taste testers.
