Mitch Daniels, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie must signal their interest in the Ames contest and begin organizing well before then.”
MASSACHUSETTS: “Senator Scott Brown’s support for a GOP budget plan that would transform Medicare into a voucher system promises to become a potent issue in his reelection campaign, say political analysts and advocates for senior citizens,” the Boston Globe writes.
NEW YORK: Next week’s NY-26 special congressional race gets the front-page treatment from the New York Times. “A special election fight over a House of Representatives seat, which has attracted big money and huge interest from both parties, now appears to hinge on him. Running as a Tea Party candidate, [Jack] Davis, 78, is siphoning support from the Republican candidate — so much so that Republicans privately concede that if they do not stop him, they could hand a seat they have long held to the Democrats.”
WISCONSIN: Politico reports that former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson is considering a run for the open Senate seat in the state. BUT he would defer to Rep. Paul Ryan, who is supposed to announce this week if he’s running.

Indiana Gov.Mitch Daniels,a potential Republican presidential candidate credits his success in government to the business skills he learned as Eli Lilly Senior Vice President for Corporate Strategy and Policy.
The Eli Lilly *Viva Zyprexa" scam occurred 1996-2003 so Mitch Daniels was 4 years into the thick of it,reaped $21 million from Lilly stocks.
Eli Lilly's #1 cash cow Zyprexa drug sale $40 billion dollars so far,has a ten times greater risk of causing type 2 diabetes over the non-user of Zyprexa. So,here we have a conflict of interest that this same company also is a big profiteer of diabetes treatment.
FIVE at FIVE
The Zyprexa antipsychotic drug,whose side effects can include weight gain and diabetes, was sold for children in foster care, people who have trouble sleeping, elderly in nursing homes.
Five at Five was the Zyprexa sales rep slogan, meaning 5mg dispensed at 5pm would keep patients quiet.
It's as addictive as tobacco,because withdrawal is accompanied by severe insomnia for 6 weeks.

Tommy Thompson was the Govenor of WI for 12 years. One of his "big accomplishments" was to move people off the welfare rolls. GOOD IDEA, RIGHT??? People, mainly single mothers, had to go find a job and put their children in day care. Most of these woman couldn't afford child care and didn't have transportation to get to a day care or to a job. There were many towns that had a church and a bar so there were not jobs or day care available to them. The result is that many women and children became homeless because there was no welfare payments unless you could do volunteer work of some kind. There were no opportunities available in the little towns for that. Well, the result was that the state had to end up paying for the child care for many many children and ended up being way more expensive than the welfare payments. SMART MAN!!!!
Oh No! "Two Tone Tommy" is back! Progressive Power knows all about the poltical puking of old "Two Tone." The disabled, the elderly, and Public Education are suffering the economic effects of this very "Gross Odd Person" (GOP), and this really economically dangerous individual really does not know what he was or is still doing. That is fact!
