"Ok, first off I don't believe that Michael Essany has any interest whatsoever in chairing the Democrat Party in Porter County.   I believe he just announced a new TV show in Chicago.  The recent Mayoral election in Portage is a good indicator that what you think will happen, namely that incumbents win, doesn't always happen when voters decide they want change.   Watch for Portage to play a much more prominent role in the 2012 election cycle." - Daltonsbriefs
