This could be fun. Democrats in Indiana are trying to clear the field for Brad Ellsworth to run in Evan Bayh’s spot.
Tamyra D’Ippolito is about 1000 votes short of getting her petition in for qualifying.
Those of you in Indiana should go out of your way to help Tamyra get the signatures she needs by tomorrow at noon.
Let’s help the Democrats have a contested primary too!
UPDATE: From the comments:
HERE IS THE LINK FOR THE PETITION.
NOTE: The deadline for the Democrats and Republicans is NOON FEBRUARY 16TH (tomorrow).

Here is a link to the primary ballot-placement petition:
Mayhem (Diary) Monday, February 15th at 4:30PM EST (link)http://ow.ly/17yRC
If you live in Indiana, print this off, get all your family members to sign it and then drop it off at your county clerk’s office by noon tomorrow. Word around the state is that D’Ippolito needs about 1000 signatures, especially out of the 8th district around Evansville (This is Brad Ellsworth’s seat.)
Here’s the deal:
If D’Ippolito gets on the ballot, that’s it. She’s the nominee. The Democrats won’t be able to challenge it or caucus to get another candidate on the ballot. They won’t be albe to get Ellsworth to run or any other viable Democrat. If you have time, make sure you sign the petition.
James Madison, Jim DeMint, Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan… You get the picture.
remember, the rules don't apply to the Dems
peter_s Monday, February 15th at 7:39PM EST (link)From what I understand, you are absolutely correct with respect to the rules– If D’Ippolito gets the signatures she needs, and doesn’t drop out, the IN Dems can’t run Ellsworth, she’s the nominee, period. She shows no interest in dropping out.
However, you will recall Torricelli in NJ. He was damaged goods running for re-election to US Senate, and the Dems, with absolutely no legal authority, pulled a switch and ran someone else who won. Remember, for the left, winning at all costs appears to be the only thing, and the rules are to be ferociously and narrowly applied to everyone else, but not to them.
Of course, what we are fighting for is for the rule of law–that it would mean something, and apply to everyone. That’s part of what’s made our system so durable, so effective, and given it such legitimacy.
Hmmmm... Is Baron Hill about to file?
Mayhem (Diary) Monday, February 15th at 8:57PM EST (link)Tamyra D’Ippolito just posted this on her Facebook account:
“Breaking news I have been told Baron Hill, Congressman of the 9th District has 4,500 signatures that he is filing tomorrow at noon. I have not been able to confirm if this is true or not I am working on it at the moment. But, we will all know at noon tomorrow what the deal really is………………………looking very fishy in Indiana.”
How the heck did Hill get 4500 signatures in just 12 hours? There are candidates who have been in this race for months and still don’t have the requisite number. Did Bayh tip him off a long time ago that he’d be stepping down? I’ll just say, this is very fish, if true.
James Madison, Jim DeMint, Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan… You get the picture.

My (combined) wish list.
What's the process?
discerningconservative (Diary) Monday, February 15th at 4:33PM EST (link)I live in NW Ohio, and am only about an hour and half drive to Ft. Wayne. I would be happy to head over there this evening and try to get petitions signed. How many are still needed in that area, and where and when do they have to be submitted. I also have friends in Southern Indiana, but they are in the same CD as Bloomington, so I would assume she has the signatures needed in that area. I’ll do what I can to help the cause.
Her site says:
youthgrunt (Diary) Monday, February 15th at 4:56PM EST (link)http://www.tamyraforsenate.com/
she is in need of signatures in the 8th Congressional District which is Terre Haute and Evansville. Apparently they just have to be turned into the County Clerk by noon (both cities are their respective County Seats). I would also guess letting the campaign know they have been turned in would be a good thing to do as well.
There is some confusion in that there is word that she is 1,000 signatures short, but you only need 500 per district. But the 8th district is the only one being mentioned in materials.
We have until Friday
redtillimdead (Diary) Monday, February 15th at 4:41PM EST (link)A statement of candidacy needs to be filed tomorrow, signatures have to be submitted by Friday, which may be hard for someone with none to get considering the state is covered in snow. So, lets take her 3500, and add, and let Marlin Stutzman or Dan Coats walk into this seat after winning the primary. Go Tamyra D’Ippolito!
Nancy Pelosi can kiss my asstroturf.
I am reading the opposite
youthgrunt (Diary) Monday, February 15th at 5:03PM EST (link)that the signatures have to be to the county clerk tomorrow and the rest of the paperwork is due on Friday. The form linked above states that the signatures are due on noon on the 16th.
So much confusion
redtillimdead (Diary) Monday, February 15th at 5:12PM EST (link)I’m seeing some links say Friday, some tomorrow. The SoS site says tomorrow I think. Let me go find where I read earlier and post it here.

Connie Hair (Diary) Monday, February 15th at 5:59PM EST (link)In the very first paragraph on page 17 at the link says Feb 16th but the next paragraph says Feb 19th.
“A candidate may submit a petition for certification to the county voter registration office no earlier than Monday, January 4, 2010, and no later than 12:00 noon, local prevailing time, on Tuesday, February 16, 2010. (IC 3-8-2-8 and IC 3-8-2-10)
3. Filing Requirements and Deadlines
The declaration of candidacy and certified petitions must be filed with the Election Division no earlier than Wednesday, January 20, 2010, and no later than 12:00 noon, Indianapolis time, on Friday, February 19, 2010. (IC 3-8-2-4, IC 3-8-2-5 and IC 3-8-2-8) A declaration of candidacy or certified petition filed after February 19, 2010 at 12:00 noon will not be considered valid.”
HOWEVER, the Federal Elections Commission website says Feb. 16th.

One thing no one is talking about
ilgop24 Monday, February 15th at 7:49PM EST (link)is that this takes away resources from Dems ability to defend IL, Blanche Lincoln, etc.
I also think Washington is more in play than people are seeing right now.
We could be looking at every Senate seat with the exception of Schumer and Maryland being realistically in play. (not counting GOP safes)
Maybe not
redtillimdead (Diary) Monday, February 15th at 8:12PM EST (link)Kudlow is supposedly very likely to challenge Schumer according to his friends. Mikulski is also talking about retiring as she has a bad ankle injury and is, you know, 73 years old. If we could get former Gov. Bob Ehrlich to run, we could have a good opportunity. Wisconsin has a large bench of strong candidates, but for some reason the NRSC is waiting for Tommy Thompson, a loud supporter of ObamaCare to run, instead of pursuing a young conservative millionaire who alsmost beat Feingold in a Democratic year, named Mark Neumann. In WA, Rasmussen came out with a poll showing Dino Rossi beating Murray by 2 points, and her little known challengers holding her below 50%. Vermont may be the only safe Dem seat this year. Maybe Oregon, but we have a chance there.
Nancy Pelosi can kiss my asstroturf.
I live in MD
jfindl2 (Diary) Monday, February 15th at 10:01PM EST (link)and I have heard absolutely nothing about Mikulski retiring. Also, Ehrlich will not run for Senate, he is going for the governor’s mansion. I really do hope that Rossi and Neumann get in though, that would really screw the Democrats.

It was a rumor today
redtillimdead (Diary) Monday, February 15th at 10:12PM EST (link)Some Dem sources said she told her doctor and others she doesn’t think she has the energy for it, but others say she is doing it. If she didn’t run though, Ehrlich might think he had a better shot at the senate seat.
Nancy Pelosi can kiss my asstroturf.
Mark Neumann
shaitra (Diary) Tuesday, February 16th at 9:03AM EST (link)is running for Governor. I imagine that is why the NRSC is courting Tommy Thompson.
Tommy Thompson ...
zachv (Diary) Tuesday, February 16th at 7:18PM EST (link)… is the probably the only Republican candidate that even has a chance at beating Feingold. That’s why the NRSC is courting him; there *are* no other big name candidates running that have the political finesse, name recognition and financial resources to be serious contenders.
As for Mark Neumann, he’s running for Governor against Milwaukee Executive Scott Walker (AWESOME) and is losing … very badly. Quite frankly, Neumann won’t run again against Feingold.
The next best candidate, who will probably enter the race if Tommy Thompson chooses not to run, is Senator Ted Kanavas of Brookfield.
Following that are the two unknowns already running for the Senate against Feingold; Terence Wall and David Westlake. I wish both of them the best of luck, but these guys don’t have a chance against that Feingold. :\

My understanding on Hill's signatures
youthgrunt (Diary) Monday, February 15th at 8:41PM EST (link)is that they are not for Senator, but for his House race. My further understanding is that they cannot be used for the other office. And, of course, do not include signatures from all districts. There is not telling. Apparently Tamyra sent an email to the county Democratic Party Chairmen asking them to stop interfering in her getting signatures, which has not made them happy about the prospect of her being the candidate.
No
Mayhem (Diary) Monday, February 15th at 9:00PM EST (link)You do not need signatures to run for House races in Indiana. This only applies to statewide elective office. If you want to be a candidate for a House district, you just drive down to Indy and file with the Sec. of State.

Questions
proudgop (Diary) Monday, February 15th at 8:54PM EST (link)1. First can anyone sign this petition ( Democrat, Republican or Independent so long as they are an Indiana voter?)
2. IN GOP needs to have back up plan ( I wouldn’t count on this girl she could always back out even if she gets sigs). I see no reason why 500 sigs in each county by Republicans for Scooby Doo couldn’t get sigs
3. If this doesn’t hapen when would IN Dems chose their nominee and would same affect congressional races? For i.e if they chose Ellsworth do other Dems on primary ballot stay nominee or are they allowed to place the Dem on ballot here too?
In re: #1
Mayhem (Diary) Monday, February 15th at 9:01PM EST (link)Yes. If you are a Hoosier voter, you can petition to have anyone on the ballot that you like. You just have to choose one party ballot once you get to the voting booth at the primary.
James Madison, Jim DeMint, Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan… You get the picture.
But you can sign
youthgrunt (Diary) Monday, February 15th at 9:15PM EST (link)as many petitions for as many candidates and for both parties.
BTW, Mayhem, thanks for the correction on the petitions. I think I heard someone say that on WIBC this evening. But everyone seems to be learning these rules on the fly today.
Answers
redtillimdead (Diary) Monday, February 15th at 10:18PM EST (link)1. answered below
2. They have 5 candidates. They were planning on running against the popular Bayh, so anyone is an improvement
3. They have until June 30th to pick a candidate. Baron Hill would be the best choice as we have the strongest field of candidates against him and he has primary opponents who are just token opposition and would be run over by the GOP candidate. Ellsworth has no primary opponents, so the party would pick a candidate here too.

Other Baron Hill Rumor
youthgrunt (Diary) Monday, February 15th at 9:20PM EST (link)Doing a twitter search on Baron Hill. A couple of people are suggesting that Hill is relabeling Bayh’s signature forms. Sounds far fetched, but who knows.
that illegal to me nt
proudgop (Diary) Monday, February 15th at 9:22PM EST (link)thats illegal to me nt
It would be illegal
youthgrunt (Diary) Monday, February 15th at 9:44PM EST (link)Other theories that are being worked are that it is either a rumor being planted by Tamyra herself to get the volunteers fired up or that the Indiana Democrats are trying to suppress her volunteers by making the primary look unreachable. No way to tell at this point.
I promise you that Tamyra is not that political savy
ilgop24 Monday, February 15th at 9:53PM EST (link)She is not sitting at a desk scheming political maneuvers.
Also, she doesn’t need votes, she needs signatures. I’ve contacted all the Repubs I know in Indiana to sign up for her
Agree on Tamyra's savvy
youthgrunt (Diary) Monday, February 15th at 10:13PM EST (link)If one of the two theories are correct, I would guess the Democratic Party is trying to keep her from getting the signatures. I am also guessing they will challenge signatures to keep her from getting the required amount.
Which would work too
redtillimdead (Diary) Monday, February 15th at 10:20PM EST (link)Even if they challenge them successfully, it will harm their image for doing something like that, and hamper the eventual nominee.
Nancy Pelosi can kiss my asstroturf.
Absolutely, the more she sticks around and becomes an issue
ilgop24 Monday, February 15th at 10:22PM EST (link)The better this looks. If Indiana can unite together behind Marlin Stutzman, I would have to say Indiana would be the state with my most favorite politicos…Mitch, Pence, and Stutzman.
