The Indiana election commission has voted that Judge Scheibenberger remains on the ballot. The statute in Indiana code applies to attorneys, not judges.
As we reported here, the dozen wingnut Kely-ites that filed the complaint, were misguided in their smear campaign against the judge.
Judge Scheibenberger’s spokesperson told AWB the judge said, “Now we can focus on the real issues of the election, and winning in November.”
Huntington, IN. - Steve Ochs, Independent candidate for Huntington County Sheriff, today released the following statement regarding the decision by Republican candidate for Huntington County Sheriff, Terry Stoffel, to turn down an invitation from the Huntington TEA Party to participate in a public debate at the Huntington North High School Auditorium on October 23, 2010.
“It is unfortunate my opponent has decided not to come before the voters of Huntington County in a public forum and answer questions about serious issues facing Huntington County and the Huntington County Sheriff’s Department,” Ochs said. “I personally feel that the citizens of Huntington County deserve the opportunity to interview the man that they will choose to put in a position of authority in their community. I am willing to openly discuss any matters of concern that citizens may have about this vital public service position. I cannot understand why any candidate would avoid an opportunity to assist the community in its decision making for the upcoming election. I ask that my opponent reconsider his decision to avoid public debate,” added Ochs.

The election commission will not hear the anonymous charges filed against Judge Scheibenberger, that alleged the judge kept attorneys and defendants waiting for 41 minutes while he attended a breakfast at the recent Black Expo. Scheibenberger had informed his court reporter in advance that he would be running late.
Their reason for not hearing the complaint was the person that filed it would not reveal their name.
Dr. Laura Schlessinger has announced that she will stop doing her national radio show once her contract is up, due to the fallout from her discussion with a black woman caller about the so-called “N-word,” otherwise known as “nigger.”
Nigger is just a word. People should not be afraid of words. Only cowards are afraid of words.

Rensberger, a democrat, blasted Obama, Obamacare, Tom Hayhurst, Sheriff for-life Brad Ellsworth, and Joe Donnelly. He also tossed in his support for Marlin Stutzman.
Kosciusko County Chairman Terry Bartley released the following statement in response to a letter to the editor written by Rensberger that appeared in the Times-Union on August 6.
Rensberger’s editorial follows.
The Kosciusko County Democrats do not expect all off our candidates to agree with the party’s position at all times and Mr. Rensberger is no exception. We would hope, however, that all candidates be respectful of the other candidates who have active campaigns within the county.
Mr. Rensberger crossed the line when he attacked Tom Hayhurst, Brad Ellsworth and Joe Donnelly and we are forced to take the following action. Effective immediately the Kosciusko County Democrats will pull all support from Mr. Rensberger and will not support his campaign for Kosciusko County Council District 1.

Dave Zirin, sportswriter and host of “Edge of Sports” on Sirius/XM satellite radio will be my guest Monday on The Gary Snyder Show on FM 100.1 Talks from 6-7 p.m. to talk about his new book, “Bad Sports: How Owners Are Ruining the Games We Love”. Monday’s show also just got a lot more interesting (if that is even possible) as Allen County Judge Ken Scheibenberger joins the program. 12 people filed a petition Wednesday with the Indiana Election Commission to have Judge Scheibenberger removed from the fall ballot. My guess is the Judge may have something to say about this, among other things? All this and since it’s Monday, FREE golf from Frazanda Golf Course.
Politics and sports in Northeast Indiana may never be the same!
The arrogance displayed by the White House never ceases to amaze.
Tuesday, Missourians overwhelmingly voted to pass a measure that would exempt residents from President Obama’s socialist health care mandate. 667,000 Missourians braved 102-degree heat yesterday to send Obama a clear message, “we don’t need your stinkin” health care plan.”
According to The Hill.com, When White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was asked today what it means that voters in Missouri would vote against the federal mandate, Gibbs said: ‘Nothing.’”
