As you can see, I use Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin on this site alone. I'm also using Digg and Stumbleupon for the client sites. What do you use? Sarah Palin has picked out an All-American set of names for her [...]
Where is a political junkie like myself going to get married? In D.C. of course. And yep, that was me without a [...] 
Yesterday I noticed a link on the Drudge Report to a CBS editorial talking about the diminishing "Sarah Palin Phenomenon". The piece wasn't talking so much about Palin's political status so much as her star status. And frankly, while it had some decent, [...] The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Center for Marketing Research recently released the results on the usage of social media in the Inc. 500.

The latest Zogby poll released today give Senator McCain and Governor Palin a lead nationally. The post convention bounce has them up by four, but the race is still tight.
Via Zogby International:
The McCain/Palin ticket wins 49.7% support, compared to 45.9% backing for the Obama/Biden ticket, this [...]
Back in July, I was interviewed along with a few others (Indianapolis Star columnist Matt Tully, Abdul Haki-Shabazz from Abdul in the Morning and Ft. Wayne blogger Jeff Pruitt) were interviewed by BizVoice magazine, the official magazine of the Indiana State Chamber of [...] 
Recently, I've been lining up guests for the next Hoosier Access podcast/webcast/liveblog scheduled for September 6th, 2008 from 3:00-6:00pm. Pretty much up to now, we've only had elected officials or those running for office on as guests. But our next session will be different. [...] 8/26/08
Okay, before all of my loyal conservative and Republican readers read the post title and get their undies in a bunch, I’m writing this post more as a political strategist than as a blogger.
There has a been a lot of scuttlebut as to [...]
For the longest time I put off joining Twitter. What is Twitter and why did I put it off for so long? Wikipedia describes Twitter as: a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other [...]

I love picking on Democrats. Rush Limbaugh loves picking on Democrats. Find me a Republican who doesn’t. But I have to take issue with Limbaugh’s Operation Chaos. Trust me, I love the premise. I love the theory, I love that it really rankles Dan [...] I’m not much of a drinker. But when I do, gin and tonic is my beverage of choice (made with Bombay Sapphire…that’s the good stuff). But it looks like Absolut Vodka decided to stoke anti-American sentiment and is running the ad below in Mexico.
Poor Hillary Clinton. She was the runaway front runner for Democrat nomination for President less than a year ago and now she’s being encouraged to drop out of the race (for the good of the party of course) and it turns out she’s practically [...] 
What a day yesterday was to be a student at Indiana University. They get a new head coach in Tom Crean for their much maligned basketball team, Bubba campaigns for Hillary and to top everything off, Barack Obama gave away Dave Matthews tickets in exchange for [...] I just have to take a minute to give a big shout out to a good friend of mine who I worked with in Washington, D.C. His name is Chad Bungard and before we worked together on Capitol Hill for Congressman Burton and the Government Reform Committe he got his [...]
Reading the article on former Indiana Congressman Lee Hamilton endorsing Barack Obama, got me thinking. At the height of the abolition movement in America, in a speech accepting the Republican nomination for Senate in Illinois in 1858, Abraham Lincoln uttered one of his many famous quotes, “A house divided [...]
Protect bloggers and blogging that is. Congressman Jeb Hensarling from Texas and Chairman of the Republican Study Committee (RSC) is seeking to protect bloggers from future unruly FEC regulations.

This post has nothing to do with Indiana except that I have family involved. The most spectacular thing happened this morning that my wife and I just found out about.

Remember a few years back when you would get those annoying robocalls or sales calls during dinner? Remember when they suddenly stopped? Remember who is responsible for that?

The Seventh Congressional certainly has provided bloggers with smorgasbord of posting delights, whether you?re a Republican or a Democrat. But since the Republican primary is pretty much set, despite the fact that Jon Elrod has a couple of unheard of challengers, the Democrats continue to give [...] His campaign plays fast and loose with the facts, (that?s not the first or last time) he?s trailing badly in the polls, and I hear the numbers are only getting worse. To top this off, a pivotal County Chairman has announced his county party is supporting [...]
Now the comment from Jill Long (shot) Thompson is funny. Anybody find it odd that a candidate who only has a couple hundred thousand dollars is beating the Democrats chosen child with all his millions? Oh wait, those in Indy shouldn?t.

It's my hope that the more I re-tooling with this site I do, the more I'll use it in addition to Hoosier Access. But as you may have noticed, I've changed some things around. First, I made subscribing to my RSS feed much easier just [...] 
I?m sure the Indiana Democrat super-delegates (and Democrats in general) are squealing with delight right now. Word has come out that the man who has inspired thousands of young female interns and young women in trailers to do something with their lives is coming to a [...] I can’t hide the fact that I’m biased when it comes to the 5th CD race. But let me say one thing before I start here. I have had the pleasure of meeting John McGoff. He’s a genuinely nice guy who I am starting to believe was convinced to run [...]
I’ve been trying to avoid writing about this (why kick someone when they are down), but just can't resist any longer.
I suppose if you’re running against Dan Burton and your Republican Primary campaign fails to win over Republicans, you can always try reaching out to [...]

Any of you remember former Indiana Pacers coach, Dick Versace? I mean, really, think back to the late ’80’s and early ’90’s before the Pacers were a perennially good team (wow, those days seem like a long time ago). Well, Dick Versace had been recruited by [...]
