MAY 6 ELECTION NOTES

NATIONAL
Clinton won a close one in Indiana and Obama had an easier time in North Carolina. Are his supporters more racist than hers are gender driven? Are they all mentally deficient? You need not answer and Linden may not share his opinion with you.

These two contests did little to change the situation: There are still some thought challenged ones who are calling for Clinton to abandon ship. Fat chance! Since it appears that it will go to convention in a virtual tie situation, Linden is offering his services to that party and seeking super delegate support. Although he would hate to abandon the GOP, flawed as it presently is, America badly needs the democrat party to be jerked, kicking and screaming, to the right.

INDIANA
The Republican and democrat candidates for Governor have been selected as has the congressional representatives. The June 2 Republican State Convention, which Linden expected to attend for the 14th time, should be very interesting with probably three top State office candidates being selected at that time. Locally, Linden lost his bid for a seat on the Hendricks County Council: Considering the effect a recent State law change will have on local governments, this may have been a blessing in disguise.
Linden had some great help but it is just barely possible that crossover voting for the democrats may have hurt the effort.

LINDEN'S LIFE
Thursday brought the usual breakfast with friends. Bill had returned from The Ukraine and Austria safely and it was, as usual, a good meeting. Lunch was a great potato bar affair at Church. Judge Mark Smith was a great lunchtime speaker and his wife, Barbra, preceded his remarks with comments on the pre-school program at our church: She is the director of that effort. This surely was one of the best "Golden Glow" lunchtime affairs.
