From the South Bend Tribune:
Luke Puckett now appears almost certain to be the Republican challenger opposing Congressman Joe Donnelly, D-Granger, in Indiana’s 2nd District this fall.
Puckett starts short on money and with long odds against him; with low name recognition but high hopes.
“I think it’s a winnable race or I wouldn’t be getting into it,” says Puckett.
Lets see…Donnelly has a pile of cash, name recognition, and he’s an incumbent. Yeah, that’s a winnable race. Got to give the guy credit though, at least he has the guts to jump in when all other republicans ran the other way, for exactly those reasons. Good Luck Luke, your gonna need it.

Well he must not think it’s too winnable considering he’s been in and out of this race once already.

Yeah, I was going to write something about that, but for brevity decided not to go into it. Realistically, I don’t think he is really in this to win, but to get some free advertising for his businesses. Too bad though, I’d like to see a good race in that district!
