This message is long overdue, but I didn’t want to leave without saying goodbye. As faithful readers of the blog know, I took over day to day responsibilities for managing Hoosier Access about a year and a half ago. I came into the task with a board who was excited to keep alive the concept […]

Every twelve years we have an election with no marquee race, no election that will have “national implications” that gets everyone all worked up. There won’t even be an amendment to the Indiana Constitution on the ballot as many expected, so what is there to get worked up about? I still there there are quite […]

Even though the old Stephen Colbert program was a parody I enjoyed watching it… sometimes parody still exposed hidden truths and sometimes you just have to be able to laugh at yourself or your allies when stupid things happen. During my time in Washington and watching The Colbert Report I managed to develop a grudging […]

Many Hoosiers are familiar with our state’s “Illinoied?” campaign designed to attract businesses from a state whose leaders are out of touch when it comes to building an environment for economic growth. This program has had success, but yesterday an Illinois Congresswoman gave us all a window into why Illinois residents should be annoyed with […]

It’s hard to laugh about what’s going on in our country, but every once in a while someone does something that gives you a moment to pause, sit back and have a chuckle. Of course, maybe Democrats have reason to be superstitious. They are going into an election year where their prospects aren’t all that […]

Republican Study Committee Chairman Steve Scalise (R-La.) was elected House Majority Whip after the current whip, Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), was elected House Majority Leader to replace Congressman Eric Cantor […]

Hoosier delegates to the Republican State Convention may have received more than they bargained for. While some questioned whether delegates would stick around town for the free concert tonight, as time dragged on there was some question as to whether the concert would have to be postponed to accommodate the final round of balloting. In […]

Speaking as a Fort Wayne resident, the Grand Wayne Center really did our city proud hosting the Indiana Republican Convention. Speaking to party officials attendance has exceeded their expectations and it was difficult to spy many open seats among the delegates from the press stand. The bulk of the program last night was devoted to […]

Well, we’ve heard from delegates around the state who have become a bit weary of the onslaught of contacts from the Indiana State Treasurer candidates which has stepped up as the convention gets closer. Those checking in today will need to brace themselves for another ad in a most unusual place… Their hotel key card. Yes, […]

I’ve been a long-time advocate for giving regions of the state opportunities to bid for hosting the state convention during non-Presidential years. It’s even more exciting to me that just under 24 hours from now delegates can start picking up their credentials for the state convention in downtown Fort Wayne! Since you all are coming […]
