BREAKING: Urgent action needed by INDIANA VOTERS! (Updated)

OK. In case you're just tuning in, here's what's going on...

Democrat Senator Evan Bayh made a surprise announcement this morning that he will NOT run for re-election in the fall. This bombshell has shocked us all, especially the Indiana Democrats.

Because they were caught flat-footed, only one, lone, little, rookie politician named Tamyra d'Ippolito has been working on getting the required signatures needed to appear on Indiana's primary ballot as a Democrat candidate for the US Senate. Tamyra has been working diligently and, it turns out, is only a few hundred signatures from that requirement.

The rest of the story...

If she makes the requirement, SHE WILL BE THE ONLY DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE ON THE PRIMARY BALLOT. Even more delicious, since the Democrat establishment guys have not done anything about this, they will be forced to run a write-in campaign against Tamyra.

HA!

So if you're in Indiana and you want to force the DNC to have to pour millions of extra dollars into a WRITE-IN campaign against this fine, albeit inexperienced candidate, CLICK HERE to print and sign the petition for Tamyra d'Ippolito to be included on the IN primary ballot.

UPDATE...

Well, it was fun while it lasted. Alas, the latest reports say Tamyra d'Ippolito missed her goal by ... well, really a lot.

Tamyra made statements earlier today that she DID get the number of signatures she needed to be added to the Indiana ballot as the sole Democrat candidate for US Senator in that state's primary election in May.

Sadly, the truth doesn't quite seem to match that claim.

Brave Girl Conducts 'Tolerance Test'

The Chicago Tribune's John Kass wrote this facinating article (excerpt below). The piece follows the pre-election experiment conducted by Chicago teen Catherine Vogt. Her story is a lesson to us all...

"Tolerance Fails T-Shirt Test" by: John Kass, The Chicago Tribune

Catherine Vogt shows off her two t-shirts As the media keeps gushing on about how America has finally adopted tolerance as the great virtue, and that we're all united now, let's consider the Brave Catherine Vogt Experiment. Catherine Vogt, 14, is an Illinois 8th grader, the daughter of a liberal mom and a conservative dad. She wanted to conduct an experiment in political tolerance and diversity of opinion at her school in the liberal suburb of Oak Park. She noticed that fellow students at Gwendolyn Brooks Middle School overwhelmingly supported Barack Obama for president. His campaign kept preaching "inclusion," and she decided to see how included she could be. So just before the election, Catherine consulted with her history teacher, then bravely wore a unique T-shirt to school and recorded the comments of teachers and students in her journal. The T-shirt bore the simple yet quite subversive words drawn with a red marker: "McCain Girl" "I was just really curious how they'd react to something that different, because a lot of people at my school wore Obama shirts and they are big Obama supporters," Catherine told us. "I just really wanted to see what their reaction would be."
