  1. Most polling I have seen has shown Schellinger much closer. I hope that is so beacuse Schellinger is both a stronger canidate to beat Daniels and beacuse JLT uses right-wing frames on taxes.

    It will be a closer race though.

  2. What’s probably going to be their only debate, they square off tonight in Fort Wayne.  I really haven’t gotten a handle on this race, as it’s been VERY quiet until recently.  I get the general sense that JLT has run a quite poor campaign, as she had all the name recognition going into this.  I’m strongly leaning towards Schellinger, as I think he’s shown himself the more able person to really take it to Mitch Daniels.  Whoever wins, this is not going to be easy, as Daniels is sitting on top of a ton of money.  A case certainly can be made against him, but it’s going to take a candidate who can aggressively do that to win, and from what I’ve seen of JLT so far, I don’t think that’s her.
