Huh? What are you talking about 20 plus years ago and while I am at it. Let me give you a little education on “insiders” If you look at the list (which I will link here later) it is full of insiders….and I would like to mention I have nothing personally against these people I am friends with a lot of them.

Also, when I say the voters are tired of the “insiders” pushing their buddies into office, you must not pay any attention to what is going on in the political scene right now. The voters are ticked off and want to change how DC works (I argue it will be hard, but maybe, just maybe they (the politicians will listen) NY 23 bring back any memories?

And “seriouslydude” And as far as me being a good blogger, I posted their quotes and the rest I wrote myself. I have nothing personally against you or anyone else if you support someone else that is fine with me. I was just giving an opinion and the facts.

Since you brought up McVey’s amateur-at-best-blog-post let me point out that while he was ranting about insiders, he forgot to mention Messer out-raised him by individual donations coming out of District 5. He should probably read the numbers so he knows what he is talking about next time.

I’m also unsure about what candidates were pushed in by their buddies “in this district”. If you are referring to Burton then I am not sure how something that happened 20+ years ago applies to today.

I honestly thought you were a good blogger until you copycatted the same talking point from 3 other websites. If personal interest was such an issue for these guys, they’d step down and nominate one candidate. While we may disagree on who we think that candidate should be—we can’t sit here and whine about Burton when all of these candidates are simply making his playing field easier.

Mark my words. This race will get very ugly before it is over. Jennifer Hollowell, Messer’s guru, is the queen of push polling and she will not hesitate to throw whatever mud she can to force people out of the race. It appears Messer’s only strategy is “I can raise money and get party hacks to back me, now get out of my way!”

In an odd twist of fate I can see the Indy people blaming Dan Burton and the three other M’s for getting in the way of their golden boy Luke Messer.

This Congressional primary is total lunacy! You knew this was going to happen. Already almost $1 million has been raised and for what purpose? If we do not win control of the Indiana House and unseat Bauer next year, I will hold Messer, McVey, Murphy and McGoff responsible. They have clearly put themselves ahead of their Republican Party.

It makes one wonder here in Marion County how many Precinct Committeemen and Ward Chairpersons will be threatened with dismissal if they don’t publicly state their support for Luke Messer. And if Messer does not win their precinct, ward, or area will the heads begin to roll come Wednesday after the primary? We’ve already seen it with the SD30 caucus when the party’s favored candidate Ryan Vaughn was handily beaten by Scott Schneider. As a result some Ward Chairpersons were fired. We saw it in 2008 as a result of the State Convention when the party’s favored candidate Jon Costas was beaten by Attorney General Greg Zoeller, and some areas of Marion County were divided as a punishment for their lack of support for Costas.
