Jen Wagner reacts to Tully's speculations about Marion Co. Prosecutor Carl Brizzi running for mayor of Indianpolis:
Tully proclaims Brizzi "king of the Marion County GOP." Which, when you think about it, is kinda like being elected Summer School Class President.
TDW thinks Brizzi would have a tough time running for Mayor. It's a very different job than what he's used to, and people demand things of a mayoral candidate that they don't even think about when they elect a Prosecutor. Also, Brizzi just spent $2 million taking ownership of crime in Marion County. But hey, if he wants to give Ike Randolph a run for his money in the primary, have at it. Because Republicans spending money trying to beat other Republicans is always fun to watch. (TDW's money is still on Brizzi running for Dan Burton's seat.)
If Brizzi is well liked enough to stand the test of a moderate/liberal county like Marion County then who's to say he doesn't stand a chance? Of course, being the incumbent in any race has it's advantages but give the Democrats a few months to feel how "well liked" they are and then we'll talk.
