INDIANAPOLIS -- Tuesday night, Republican Richard Lugar became the first Indiana politician to be elected to a fifth term in the U.S. Senate. But no one was surprised.
INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana gubernatorial race ended Tuesday evening with a victory for the Democratic Party. Incumbent Gov. Frank O'Bannon and Lt. Gov. Joe Kernan celebrated their victory with the exuberant crowd that filled the Indianapolis Convention Center's 500 Ballroom.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Democrats fought for high voter turnout, and were confident early Wednesday morning that work paid off.
One vote separated the top two winners in the County Council at-large race. Democrat Scott Wells took the first of three open seats on the council, followed by Republicans Jeff Ellington and Doug Duncan.
Walking into the Fountain Square Mall Ballroom, election night headquarters for the Monroe County Democratic Party, Democrat Peggy Welch, received a long round of applause from party supporters.
Experience and name recognition proved to be key in the Monroe county commissioners' race, as incumbents Joyce Poling and Iris Kiesling defeated their opponents in Districts 2 and 3, respectively. Poling, a Republican, defeated her Democratic challenger, Elizabeth Feitl, by capturing 57 percent of the vote. Franklin Andrew, the Republican candidate in District 3, failed in his attempt to unseat Kiesling; the sitting commissioner captured 56 percent of the votes cast.
EVANSVILLE -- It was a hotly contested race, one marked by vicious campaigning. It was typical of the "Bloody Eighth," the quirky Congressional district of Southwest Indiana. But in the end, it wasn't even close.
\"No chance, 'cause that's what you got" stands for two things. It stands for IU's shot at going to the Rose Bowl, and it means WWF chairman Vince McMahon is making his way to the ring.
Senior cross country runner Dan Billish could have taken a few credit hours this summer, been a student teacher this semester and graduated in December. He could've been done and far away from Bloomington.
In today's age of free agency and short-term expectations, patience has been forgotten. Owners and fans have become so focused on winning that the journey to the top has become irrelevant. While teams can now be brought together on a short-term basis, the true enjoyment of sport comes from watching a group of athletes with whom you, the fan, have become familiar, blossom into champions.
You know, it's funny how things turn out sometimes. Before the season, people asked me what was in store for the 2000 edition of the men's soccer team. My answer was, "With five starters from last year's team gone, it would take this team a while to get on the same page with each other. But when they do get it together, and they will, good things will happen."
No part of the football team has struggled more than the secondary. Name a pass defense statistic and it's a good bet IU is buried at the bottom of the category. The categories in which IU ranks last in the Big Ten include:
Most of the funding programs of the federal government aimed at HIV services, prevention, education and financial support for people with HIV have a basic fundamental goal: stability.
A newsroom is a microcosm of society. Everyone from the publisher and editor in chief down to the rookie crime reporter and the part-time photographer has his or her own opinions, beliefs and values regarding a variety of different issues.
Are you wondering why Myles Brand is still president of IU when the University continues to fall apart? When Brand was due for his five-year review last year, his Board of Trustees hired one person, an outside consultant named Robert Atwell, to do it, the IDS reported.
Those who listen to pop stations are fed up with what gets on the playlist nowadays. Whenever Creed, Everclear and Baha Men come on, most of the sensible listeners immediately search for the "seek" button. Although the new singles of Samantha Mumba and Debelah Morgan are infectious, it's unlikely anyone can stand them after the tireless heavy-rotation airplay they get all day everyday. As a result, songs that are more deserving of airtime never make it onto the playlist and end up sitting on the stations' shelves gathering dust.
Buddy Newlin awoke with a start. Was that a faint rustling in the dark? Was there something moving in the dead of the night? Maybe some premonition of danger pricked him awake -- Newlin will never know. What he does know is that something saved his life that night.
