-Republican Cheryl Musgrave’s move to run for the Indiana House of Representatives in a Vanderburgh County seat now represented by Democrat Gail Rieken is one more sign that the GOP and Governor Mitch Daniels are serious about winning back control in the House.  I hear the governor has been doing some personal recruiting.

-Daniels appeared on PBS and Fox News within four days recently.  Does that cover the waterfront?  How much can he be on national television without running for something?

-The Nobel Prize in Economics given to Indiana University Professor Elinor Ostrom is a great reward for her and the state (and the governor captured that in a statement released today.)   But how many people around here now have to change their tune now about the meaning of the Nobel Peace Prize going to Barack Obama?
