VINCENNES, Ind. -- Republicans are teetering on the edge of losing control of the Indiana House, and voters like Carolyn Barnes are one reason why. Two years ago, the Vincennes resident's vote for Republican Troy A. Woodruff helped him eke out a victory over the Democratic incumbent state representative by fewer than 200 votes.

But the 70-year-old Barnes said she won't do that again. Woodruff switched his vote in 2005 to put Indiana on daylight-saving time. She said that's all she needs to know. When Woodruff's Democratic challenger, Kreg Battles, showed up at her doorstep last week asking if she had any questions about his candidacy, she said:

"No, because I'm going to vote for you. You'd do as well or better as the one we have now."
Indiana Democrats say voters' enduring anger over the time change, as well as the leasing of the Indiana Toll Road to foreign investors, can help them end the Republicans' slim 52-48 majority in the Indiana House.

2. I find it a bit embarrassing that the reason R voters may shift to D -

is because they have the 'new-fangled' daylight savings time. Not that I like it - but sheeezzz.

3. You expected the Star to be "fair and balanced" on this?

Bwahahahahahaha!
We're not the ones being angry in our literature and commercials - the Republicans are!
I smell fear in the ranks!

4. I heard a commercial,

I guess yesterday during the day (at home sick), that things are all perfect since the repubs got into office - the budget is balanced, schools are doing well, yada yada ... bullshit lies. The dems, according to the ad, were screwing things up. Can't recall who the puke was that aired it, but it was disgusting.
