Except when Obama carried the state to the point they even got a Dem governor…
Then we started running moderates again for president, they got Pence who caused an HIV epidemic and then the whole country had to deal with him as VP.
The problem is what “red states” need to turn blue isn’t what the DNC is willing to give.
(That said, I suppose I can understand ignoring something like “Citation needed” as not everyone wants to spend the time stay informed by looking things up and following up).
Indiana is never “in play”…

Eh, Mitch Daniels wasn’t a Democrat.
Was just about to come on here to say this. Joe Kernan was actually the last in a line of Dem govs of Indiana (following Evan Bayh and Frank O’Bannon)
I’m a bit surprised here that the OC (givesomef… ) admitted to his mistake, considering that in the past he’s ignored similar requests for clarifications. E.g https://lemmy.world/comment/12300100 , https://lemmy.world/comment/12283806 , and especially https://lemmy.world/comment/12087110 (where giving a positive answer would have really helped me out).

Thanks, yeah I was off a couple years too. Mitch was in office before Obama was president.
To be fair though, Mitch Daniels seems more of a centralist in the mold of Liz Cheney or Mitt Romney, going off of his op-ed in the Wash. Post, https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/06/18/republicans-democrats-one-party-state-rule/
Compared to who ended up as governor after him, I can easily see and excuse that kind of slip up.
