  • Prediction Updates

    I will go through my predictions and reconcile them with poll results. I'll start with those races that were contained entirely in Allen County. I'll do the rest as I am able to break down how multi-county candidates did in Allen County. [...]

  • Poll Observations

    This is what I have observed in doing my civic duty and making the roll around precincts. Turnout appears to be low (though Channel 15 claims it isn't). Poll workers have seen an unusual amount of youth turnout at some precincts. This must be a qualified statement though as a lot [...]

    Well, its cold and wet outside. a prescription for low voter turnout. Historically this hurts Democrats more than Republicans. But we'll have to wait until tonight to see if that holds true. [...]

  • Fries vs Taviano vs Smith - County Sheriff

    This has been one of the more active campaigns in this election cycle. It has also been one of the more interesting. All the candidates have had some good ideas as far as what they would do in office. But this race will be decided by 2 factors. The first factor [...]

  • Randy Borror vs Mark Wehrle - 84th District Indiana House

    The odds are stacked against Wehrle. Many in the 84th remember his antics from his last campaign.

Pick: Borror [...]

  • Rokita vs Pearson vs Kole - Secretary of State

    Rokita won the last election with 53%. I expect Republican numbers to be down this year and Mike Kole to steal votes away as well. However, Joe Pearson didn't put out the needed aggressiveness in order to win this race. This should be a close one. Pick: Rokita [...]

  • Lowdown: Brown vs Irving

    Here is what will determine this race on May 2. Will Marla's stance on Consolidation win her more votes or will voters see the stance as ingenuine? How much will the personality/professionalism issues that she and fellow commissioner Bloom are perceived as having weigh in on voter's decisions? Has Brown been able to [...]

  • Report Card for Local Cyber-Campaign Activities

    Websites, blogs, and podcasts are quickly becoming more prevalent in political campaigns. It use to be that if you put your picture and name on a website with a phone number and how to donate you were doing pretty good. Voters demand more these days. They are proactive in seeking out [...]
