We all knew that the short-lived campaign of Chris Minor was too good to be true, and it sure seems like the 2nd District GOP can't find anyone to follow his act. As the Associated Press notes this morning, that leaves freshman Rep. Joe Donnelly in the enviable position of having a respectable war chest and no opponent in sight.
Donnelly's campaign has about $700,000 on hand for his re-election bid, about three times what it had two years ago when he was preparing to take on Republican incumbent Chris Chocola, Donnelly spokesman Bob Doyle said.
Donnelly was among three Democrats to unseat Republicans from Indiana congressional seats in 2006 as he received 54 percent of the vote over Chocola in northern Indiana's 2nd District.
In the Lafayette area, the 2nd District includes Carroll County and part of White County.
"I am humbled by the support and donations of so many Hoosiers and other friends who have pitched in to help get ready for the 2008 election cycle," Donnelly said.
