Interesting. More than 1,000 people show up for the kickoff event for an Indiana state representative, Jackie Walorski, who’s aiming to take on Joe Donnelly (D., Ind.). Donnelly represents a South Bend–based district, a marginally Republican one that Obama carried with 54 percent of the vote.

“This is exactly what happened in Massachusetts, it wasn’t a Republican or Democratic thing, it was the power of the independent voter, the power of the independent voice, standing up and saying we want our country back, and I am overwhelmed by that kind of the support in this room. These people are fired up, and ready to go,” said Walorski.
