"Steve Dalton’s popular blogs, Northwest Indiana Politics and Daltons Briefs, are read by many interested in politics in Northwest Indiana. House District 19: The Republican primary pits former Mayor of Crown Point Dan Klein against Fran Katz, chief operating officer of the American Society of Agronomy. Republicans believe this seat to be particularly vulnerable to a pick-up in that first-term incumbent Shelli VanDenburgh is a Democrat in a marginally Republican district – by a small margin. In a year where one House race may determine control of redistricting, and some of those races may be determined yet again by just hundreds of votes – or less, this race has been targeted by HRCC as a key priority. During 2009, there was quite a bit of effort expended to recruit former military hero Luke Abbott to run for this office, and initially he did announce intentions to run. Early in 2010, word leaked out that his work schedule would preclude him from running and HRCC began to search to find another suitable candidate." - Daltonsbriefs from Bookmarklet

"As a Republican candidate, someone who actually has some skin in the game, I would feel the best about Republican turnout with Marlin Stutzman as our US Senate nominee. With that said, I’m going to support whoever our nominee is because Stutzman, Coats, and Hostettler would each be better than Ellsworth – both for the country and our state. However, I have serious concerns about Dan Coats’ clients and previous statements about his fondness for North Carolina over Indiana. To make matters worse, he’s barely campaigned and has made no effort to explain his conduct since abandoning his seat for Democrat Evan Bayh. I also had the chance to meet John Hostettler briefly at a town hall a few weeks ago and his statements about the Iraq War were reminiscent of John Kerry…" - Daltonsbriefs from Bookmarklet

""Marlin Stutzman is the conservative outsider in the Indiana Senate race who will take on the Washington establishment," said Senator DeMint. "Marlin Stutzman is exactly the kind of leader Americans are looking for this year. He's young, he's principled, and he's ready to take the fight to Washington. Marlin Stutzman reminds me of Marco Rubio in Florida. He has the same passion, the same love for his country, and the same courage to fight for it."" - Daltonsbriefs from Bookmarklet

"The Blue Chip Casino and Hotel So I told Daver that it couldn’t be done. All he heard was a challenge. I told him Blue Chip Casino wouldn’t even take our call. So Daver went and got us a night in the “It’s Vegas, Baby” room. And to put the cherry on top, Brandswag CEO and author of “Twitter Marketing for Dummies,” – Indianapolis’ Kyle Lacy Brandswag will stick around after his Indiana SBDC speech and attend the NWITweetup. (Thank Dalton). It’s official: The April 2010 #NWITweetup will take place at none other than the “It’s Vegas, Baby,” club at Blue Chip Casino just off Lake Michigan in Michigan City, IN. Kyle Lacy will be on hand for a book signing. Food will be provided. And I’m sure the boat would love to give us drinks to but of I’m knowledge of IGC rules is accurate, then they’re not allowed to comp with drinks. Come eat, drink, play, commune, enjoy and live it up in what could be #NWITweetups most exciting event yet." - Daltonsbriefs from Bookmarklet
