Looking for Number Two
Forget all the vice presidential speculation. Who's going to run with Jill Long Thompson?
Long Thompson, a former member of Congress, is the Democratic nominee in the race against Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels. She narrowly won the recent primary and isn't close to picking a running mate. She's clearly willing to consider a wide variety of possibilities:
Speculation focuses on Evansville Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel, Representative Trent Van Haaften from Mt Vernon, Representative Dennis Oxley from English, former Speaker of the House John Gregg and Lake County Sheriff Roy Dominguez.
...
Another possibility is Representative Steve Stemler from Jeffersonville. Eyewitness News has also learned that selection process could also include some possibilities from the business sector as well.
GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
