Let’s Help A Guy Out

Decisions, decisions, those pesky decisions.

Before Luke Puckett jumped into battle with Joe Donnelly, I pined in this every space for someone to run! I said that an incumbent, especially a freshman incumbent, should never go unchallenged for their seat.

Well, this situation is rising again in HD-12 where Mara Candelaria Reardon, D-Munster, announced she would seek a second two-year term. Again, someone is outraged that no one has filed against her in either the primary or even for the general. The difference is, he’s trying to figure out if he should run against her.

From Blue County in a Red State:

What kind of democracy is it that there is no opposition to incumbants?!?

So… am I running? I don’t know. Filing doesn’t end for a couple of weeks. I still have time to convince my wife. Or, even better, for a REAL Republican, somebody who knows what the hell they’re doing, to get into the race.

George Janic is not going to run again, I have confirmed that. I wouldn’t even be considering this if Janic were in, out of respect for the legend.

So should Buzzcut run? Let’s help this guy make a decision. Go to his blog or leave your comment here. This is a tough decision that I’ve considered off an on myself (mostly for the same reasons he gives). You want to make sure that you have a solid backing around you.

I’ll go out on limb right now though and say Buzzcut please run! We need people like you who are willing to take on those who believe they deserve their seat, but have done nothing to show for it. Especially those in The Region!
