The all new Howey-Gauge poll came out and the results were in todays Howey Political Report. The results show Democrat Andre Carson leading State Representative Jon Elrod (R-Indianapolis) 54-36 percent for the special congressional election to be held for Indiana's vaccant 7th district seat on March 11th. Now, I am not too big on polls, but when a poll shows such a commanding lead it is hard to deny.
Andre Carson, the grandson of the late Congresswoman Julia Carson, has been on the Indianapolis city counsel since the summer of 2007. THATS IT people. What is that? Six months of governing experience at the municipal level! And you are going to elect him to represent you in the United States House of Representatives. Why? Because of his name? Because his grandmother was seen by many in the African American community as iconic? No wonder people are losing faith in our government.
Let's take a look at the other 7th district candidate, Jon Elrod. This young Hoosier Republican has had experience with the law in his family run law firm, two years experience in township level government and two years experience making laws in the Indiana House of Representatives.
Even if you are a Democrat. Way the options here. Andre Carson will get to Washington and have no idea what is going on. Jon Elrod is already prepared for the job. Even if you don't agree with Elrod, vote for him. Vote for experience until the general election when hopefully your party can come up with a better qualified candidate!
