If you become known as "President Obama's favorite Republican" and face a primary challenge from your right, it's probably smart to come out early with a strong ad:
But Chris Chocola of the Club for Growth, which ran an ant-Lugar ad recently, isn't buying it:
The National Journal has an article using neighbors Indiana and Illinois to illustrate the increasingly divergent paths of Red States and Blue States:

There was an episode of "M*A*S*H" in which Hawkeye was mistakenly listed as dead, and the Army maddeningly insisted on treating him as dead until all the paperwork was properly filled in and properly filed. A Morristown, Ind., man is going through something similar. When he got divorced, his wife was mad at him, so she told the BMV he had narcolepsy. Despite numerous notes from his doctor that he does not have the chronic sleep disorder, the BMV keeps making him take more tests and taking his license away from him.
I'm not sure, but I think he was trying to insult us:
Downtown Fort Wayne could support a year-round farmers market, a Maine consultant has concluded, but in part because of the city's “cheap food” mentality start-up costs would have to be minimized
Have you noticed that when polticians get into big debates, they tend to push themselves to hard-to-defend extremes? Democratic Mayor Tom Henry and Republican challenger Paula Hughes are arguing about how much debt the city is obligated for, and they're both saying things open to challenge. Hughes decries the latest debt load, which she says is $516.4 million and includes a $21 million increase last year. But Henry says no, the city actually reduced the debt it owed by $13.2 million.
Yeah, so? And the problem with that is . . .?
House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D.-Md.) said on the House floor last night that if the balanced budget amendment Republicans are supporting is ratified and included in the Constitution it would make it “virtually impossible” to raise taxes.
I think that's just another way of saying that the balanced budget amendment would make it "virtually impossible to keep increasing spending." If only.
Let's put Michele Bachmann's politics aside for a moment and argue about that another day. The big story in the last few days has been how debilitating her migraine headaches might be:
One former top Bachmann staffer, who denied being a source of the Daily Caller report, told POLITICO the congresswoman's migraines were so prevalent that the entire office and campaign staff — even interns — knew about the problem.
Amen -- it's time to kick farmers off the federal dole:
Many city folk have an emotional attachment to a way of life they have never experienced. The image of the “family farm” possesses particular appeal.
If God really cared who won the Republican presidential primary, wouldn't he pick just one?
