Looks like we won't have Allen County's merry prankster of politics to kick around this year:
A nickname has cost perennial candidate Dave Roach a spot on the May 8 primary ballot, handing the Democrat Party nomination for Allen County Commissioner to retired firefighter Gordon Anthony.
I hate to disagree with someone as politically astute as Andy Downs, but, well, I disagree with him:
The buzz surrounding “Super Tuesday,” and the 419 Republican delegates that go along with it, raises a question that comes up almost every presidential cycle: Will Indiana still matter by the time the nomination fight gets here in May?
President Obama sounds a tad conflicted about war and the use of force. On the one hand, he says this:

Yesterday, I remarked on the cat who's running for the U.S. Senate. Here's one vote that feline won't get:
An Albuquerque man says he successfully registered his dog to vote in Bernalillo County.
The dog owner said he saw a voter registration booth on the University of New Mexico's campus a few weeks ago and decided to see how easy it would be to register his dog to vote.
This is an interesting legislative initiative that hasn't gotten much attention:
More and more political observers are saying Richard Lugar may be in trouble in his primary fight with Richard Mourdock. Here's The Weekly Standard:
After a lifetime of political good fortune in Indiana, Senator Richard Lugar can’t catch a break. He is facing what Politico calls his “toughest reelection campaign in decades,” and with the May 8 GOP primary looming, he desperately needs to repair relations with party conservatives.
Congress risks taking the economy over a “massive fiscal cliff,” Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke warned lawmakers on Wednesday.
Finally, a candidate I can support enthusiastically:
SPRINGFIELD, Va. (AP) -- A new U.S. Senate candidate in Virginia wears a tie, has a campaign website and even launched an ad. One big difference? He has a thick coat of fur.
