    My hometown is in his district and, barring some real bizarre events and/or faux pas, he’ll win going away. He just “fits” his district extremely well. This election seems to be one where people are more prone then ever to elect one of their own and he is certainly that.

    He got 180 votes on the first ballot out of the 400 participating, and he got 260 on the 3rd ballot.

    Anybody from Indiana know anything about Dr. Tom Hayhurst (expected to be Stutzman’s opponent) ?

    not that contributing to strong Rs is ever wasting money, because even if they lose it sends a message.

    So excited for him. From IN by not a resident now.

    Wonderful. I was beginning to despair.

    Finally some Republicans with some brains. No more RINOs! We need great candidates with strong values and principles to be in Congress.

    With the complete and long process of vetting and interviewing it’s 99.99999% likely he is a true conservative that will be endebted to the people and freedoms

    In Marlin, you are getting a great candidate.

    Others are running too that few in the media are paying attention to, but watch out for this one.

    See the above video of another Independence Caucus endorsed Candidate.

    We Hoosiers (and the country) will benefit greatly from sending conservatives like Stutzman to DC. Now let’s work to get him and others elected.

    It wasn’t the “mere” registered Republican voters in Indiana.

    It was ONLY the precinct committeemen, who elected the delegates who then cast the ballots.

    The more conservative Republican precinct committeemen we have, the more likely it is people like Marlin will have this kind of success in these kinds of circumstances.

    Hint, hint.

    What are YOU waiting for?

    For Liberty,
    ColdWarrior, PC (that?s ?precinct committeeman,? not ?political child!?)
    Conservatives, UNITE! CHANGE the Republican Party and save the world by UNITING INSIDE the Party as precinct committeemen. NOW! (142 days until Nov. 2 — what are YOU DOING to help get out the vote in your precinct?)
