But all hold leads over Rep. Brad Ellsworth, the presumptive Democratic nominee (who nevertheless has raised more money than the entire GOP field). Indiana, in other words, could present an instance where insurgents may be able to elect someone as radical as they want; electability and ideology might line up.

A Coats loss on Tuesday, then, could give the outraged, insurgent, Tea Party-right something more than another RINO pelt. They might start living up to their media hype. It's enough to give pause to a progressive, but it would cause a few beltway headaches. As the Irish saying goes, here's a toast to our enemies' enemies.

Every state should have multiple parties as well as multiple national parties or at least multiple grass roots groups that can honestly debate and send there observations and opinions to there politicians.
the word Politician should not be a bad word nor does a short term politician need to be.
We need to keep the white house and our local Government fresh by keeping new politicians in office and not allowing 90 percent to serve more than eight to ten years in office.
Career politicians is bad for America and good for big business.

and very small Government So they can work and scam in the shadows, They work very hard to scare us from getting involved with the Government because They do not need the competition. IF "WE THE PEOPLE" Got involved with the Government We would shed light on the corporations, They do not need that. The internet has caused all sorts of problems so Corporations Distract us by putting more garbage on the internet than you ever saw in your mail box. How much junk email do you get?. I do not do surveys and I do not join anything online and after changing my address I have gained some control. We are tracked not by The Government but by big business by seemingly harmless tracking cookies of which I do not accept on my computers nor do I put identifying information on my computer nor do I save my passwords on my computer. If A law enforcement person wanted to look at my computer I would invite him/her in and give them a cup of coffee, If big business wanted to look at my computer, I would greet them with a shot gun and they would be lucky to walk off my property.
