I’m not sure what Mike Sodrel was thinking when he decided to run for Congress again this year. Perhaps he figures people won’t remember his record from his 2005-2006 term.
A quick review of the Citizens Against Government Waste by any of his “teaparty” or “fiscal conservative” supporters, should have them fleeing his campaign like the Titanic.
CAGW gave Sodrel an “Unfriendly” rating of just 30% for his performance in 2006, the lowest of any Republican in Indiana. Any guess who else received a 30% rating that year? Then Senator Barack Obama.
