INDIANA

The Senate: No Race...


The House:...

  • Indiana's 8th congressional district: In 2006, freshman Brad Ellsworth (D) unseated John Hostettler (R) by 61% to 39%, surprising even his fellow Democrats by the margin. He will be a formidable candidate for reelection, but no incumbent can rest easy in this district, known as "The Bloody 8th" for its history of rejecting incumbents and hotly contested races. Greg Goode, a government affairs official at Indiana State, is the Republican nominee[73]. Bush won 61% here to 39% in 2004 (CPVI=R+9).
  • Indiana's 9th congressional district: Baron Hill (D) narrowly won his old job back by 50% to 46% in 2006. The district went to George W. Bush with 59% of the vote in 2004 (CPVI=R+7). Hill and Mike Sodrel (R) have faced off in three consecutive elections, Hill winning the first and third and Sodrel the second on a recount, so the outcome in 2008 is anything but certain. To the delight and relief of his fellow Republicans, Sodrel is running again.[74] Eric Schansberg the 2006 Libertarian candidate has announced he is again seeking his party's nomination.[75]
Completed Special Elections:...Indiana's 7th congressional district: Julia Carson (D) died December 17, 2007. André Carson (D), Julia's grandson, won the special election on March 11, 2008.
