What’s that Line From Happy Gilmore?
Petition signatures to get on the Indiana ballot as an independent third party? Rounded up, 33,000.
Petition signatures that the John Price led candidacy of John Waterman for Governor has at this point for today’s deadline? 128 certified according the Indiana County Clerks.
Frugal Hoosiers has more:
As of Friday, Indiana County Clerks had received a total of 128 certified signatures for Sen. John Waterman, leaving him just about 33,000 votes short of the 33,000 votes needed to get him on the ballot in his race for governor. That’s about four per day since he announced. At this rate, Waterman will qualify for ballot access in December of 2030. He’ll be 86 years old.
Ouch!
As FH reminds us, it looks like the Price is Wrong…!
I mean really, did anybody take this candidacy seriously? Yeah, I didn’t think so.

This all could have been avoided if Our Man Mitch had supported the repeal of property taxes and didn’t propose a socialist program to provide free college to all Hoosiers for two years. Mitch has got to quit shootin’ himself in the foot and giving cause for others to run against an incumbent Republican governor!
