The argument will be that if Ballard wins, they win. Of course, that's not how it works.<br /><br />District 1 is probably too far gone. We couldn't even win that district in 2007, a good year for Republicans. I think though Matt was talking about the southern part of Pike.Paul K.

Rivera has raised money, but he's also been spending it, and I don't know how much good that has done. I haven't seen a single R sign, for example, outside of Scales.<br /><br />I agree that in this county, hitting the streets is necessary. And it's also apparent to me that the group in charge of the county GOP are unwilling to play the ground game, for whatever reason. I wouldn't be surprised if the MCRCC spent a ton of money trashing primary challengers, leaving little for council candidates in the general. After all, that's what happened to Carlos May and Dennis Fishburn.Blog Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900497671781531454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551647111924186318.post-9183793123966413962011-04-27T19:10:57.653-04:002011-04-27T19:10:57.653-04:00Ronald, that district has changed drastically in t...Ronald, that district has changed drastically in the last several years and I don't think anything besides a very moderate/independent R like Christine Scales can win it.Blog Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900497671781531454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551647111924186318.post-33968149574578593202011-04-27T19:02:08.787-04:002011-04-27T19:02:08.787-04:00Matt, The MCRCC will not spend a penny for any of ...Matt, The MCRCC will not spend a penny for any of their candidates.Its all going to Ballard. The four at large Rs will not win one seat.<br /><br />The CCC will go the way of the Mayors race,which means that we will have a new Mayor and a New CCC<br /><br />In Marion county you have to hit the streets.The MCRCC is not organized well enough to get that done.Walker goees bythe Tom John theory,trash some ones reputation and lie or throw money at it. In this race neither one of those things will happen.The MCCC is about to change. I predict 16-13 at best for the Rs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551647111924186318.post-3634386742195441742011-04-27T18:59:15.133-04:002011-04-27T18:59:15.133-04:00The Republicans do have a candidate in CC District...The Republicans do have a candidate in CC District 1, Pike Township, Susan Blair.<br /><br />Ronald RodgersHoosiers for Indianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05033126282707807589noreply@blogger.com
