Five minutes until the first polls close in Kentucky and Indiana

Should have some winners to announce within the hour, I'd bet.

KY 3 and 4

KY 2 and IN 8 and 9 sometime after 7

 

I'm Indiana. Hopefully the results will be in soon. I want that stooge Mark Souder OUT!

 

My prediction: The nets make the edgy move of calling Indiana Senate first.....you know, the race where there literally is not a Dem on the ballot

 

In fairness, the other Indiana is a wildly popular Democrat. And Lugar does a tremendous job - Esquire named him one of the 10 best Congressmen.

 

It was more of a comment on the media than on Lugar. Lugar does do a great job. He's my favorite current Senator -- I am very tempermentally and ideologically in-step with Lugar. If Bush had picked Lugar or Danforth to be veep in 2000 (they were rumored to be the finalists), this world would be a much better place today.

 

Yeah Pope, but if Lugar had been elected VP would he have been more important than he was over the last six years?

 

Well, Dick Cheney would be much less important.....

 

Lugar was not picked by either Bush because each would have had to deal with the stigma of having people ask why the smarter, more principled guy wasn't president.
