Top 10 of 2010
Happy New Year! Here is my list of the 10 things to look at in 2010, not necessarily in any particular order.
1. Will Republicans take the House of Representatives this November?
2. Will any incumbent Democratic Congressman lose?
3. How many local governments will be forced to consolidate due to tax caps and declining home value assessments?
4. How much of a roll will Democrats in the 5th District play in determining whether Dan Burton wins in the May primary.
5. Which Republican will announce first that he or she is running for Governor in 2012?
6. Will potential Democratic candidates for Governor in 2012 stop imploding?
7. Will Greg Ballard get a major public policy victory (i.e. fix the water company fiasco) in 2011?
8. Will Marion County Democrats rally around Melina Kennedy for Mayor or will they gravitate towards Brian Williams, Kathy Davis or Jose Evans?
9. Will local GOP infighting in the 9th District (which I hear is pretty bad) guarantee the re-election of incumbent Baron Hill?
10. Will Tea Party advocates be organized to actually form a 4th party in Indiana that will make a difference instead of noise?
If you think I missed something, feel free to add it.

Regarding number 4: Regardless of the outcome of the GOP primary, Democrats and Republicans will have a viable option in Dr. Nasser Hanna. He is the moderate Democrat that has been quietly gathering support and raising funds. I think an announcement will be coming soon from him.
I really like the way you write about the player in Indy.
We have the same types in Hammond;also but no real reporting or poking at the system goes on. ( to bad ).
keep up the good work
