Maureen Groppe updates us on a story that Wilson has been taking great pleasure in spreading in various threads -- Dr. Woody Myers has dropped more change into the 7th District primary.
Myers, a multimillionaire, reported to the Federal Election Commission Tuesday that he has loaned his campaign $356,000 on top of nearly $1.3 million in previous loans.

Myers is one of seven Democrats hoping to defeat Rep. Andre Carson, D-Indianapolis, May 6 for the Democratic nomination in the district.
State Rep. David Orentlicher, another challenger, previously reported loaning his campaign $327,000.
Myers was outspending the field as of April 16, the end of the last full campaign disclosure period. After April 16, candidates also have to disclose if they loan their campaigns significant sums or if they receive contributions of $1,000 or more. Carson has reported receiving about $150,000 in contributions since April 16. Much of the money came from Democratic members of Congress and political action committees representing such interests as mortgage brokers, insurance agents and wine and spirits wholesalers.
Will the self-funding turn people off? Are any of them paying attention to this race at this point?
