You can't make this stuff up:


-Ninth District Republican Party Chairman Larry Shickles on Wednesday proposed the political polygraphs for Democratic Rep. Baron Hill, GOP challenger Mike Sodrel and Libertarian candidate Eric Schansberg. The three are scheduled to debate Oct. 21, but an official with a debate co-sponsor said lie detectors won't be included. <...>
Shickles, in a letter sent Tuesday to 9th District Democratic Chairman Mike Jones, suggested that the candidates be hooked up to lie detecting machines at the Oct. 21 event or a separate debate.

"While this format may be unusual, I feel strongly that voters need to be able to make a clear decision without all the usual spin," Shickles wrote.

Sodrel's campaign said he would agree to the proposal, and Schansberg said he also would agree to wear a lie detector. Hill declined to comment.

Thomas over at Blue Indiana has more:


-With recent polls showing him down by double-digits, I knew the guy was desperate, but that noise we all just heard was the fine line between "desperate" and "insane" flying right by our heads.
Words fail.

2. As a former Sheriff, Sodrel probably knows how to trick the lie detector.
