-Would Todd Rokita be doing all those radio commercials warning consumers about fraud if he wasn’t planning to run for governor?

-Would Becky Skillman be doing the housing commercials if she didn’t have designs on 2012?

-Best rumor at the Statehouse:  Lawmakers will adjourn for the year in 2010 by Valentine’s Day to permit more time for campaigning in a pivotal year.  (It happened in 1992 but seems unlikely with the current budget issues.)

-Second best rumor at the Statehouse:  Lawmakers will meet for Organization Day on November 17th and adjourn Sine Die with no session in 2010.  (Fat chance.)
