A little odd. There's a third party candidate here who is expected to take several percent. bearsfootball516 Oct 2018 #4

But not sure it's 10 points. I hope I'm wrong. Maybe the worm has turned in this state. I'll say this.... I have not seen many Braun signs at all, which is unusual.... there are Republican signs all over the damn place.

So having a poll with just two options seems slightly off. Gravis had a poll that came out yesterday with Donnelly up 4, and the third party candidate getting 7 percent.

There's definitely more energy here for Donnelly though, I can tell that through canvassing.

than Donnelly, but he's what we've got, so he's got my vote this year. At least he voted against Kavanaugh -- I'm not sure how I'd square my vote for him if he'd voted yes on that one.

I think Donnelly is the best that can get elected statewide.

I've met and talked to him a number of times. He's more progressive privately than publicly, but he knows the state's politics.

Evan Bayh - schmuck.

The energy is positive here - but I am in the bluedot of Bloomington. Glad to hear/read there is good energy in other areas as well.

PS keep an eye on the 9th. I have a sneaking suspicious that Liz Watson can get to striking distance of CarpetBagger Tres Hollingsworth.
