I live in redder than red Elkhart County Indiana...and the support for Donnelly here is unreal.

Here's your optimistic post from me today.

My drive to work is about 20 minutes, and on the way every day, there are 5 houses with Joe Donnelly signs in their front yard. One house I pass has a Mike Braun sign. Five-to-one. I'm not driving through the city either, these are rural areas I'm passing through.

I'm also my precinct chair and spend time on Saturday's canvassing for the Donnelly campaign. It was my first year getting actively involved, and I've been amazed at the number of Democrats meet when canvassing who say they've never voted in midterms before, but are sure as hell going to vote for Donnelly this November.

Just thought I'd let everyone know. Happy Tuesday!

1. That's encouraging to hear.

2. Excellent news! How about the IN-2 House district?

I have that on my list of potential big wave R->D flips, but haven't seen any polling for the district. Would absolutely love for Mel Hall to take down Walorski.

3. I haven't seen any polling either, and I know there's a resentment for Walorski

It's possible she goes down in a blue wave, but it's not something I'm anticipating. She won in 2014 by 20 percent and about 30,000 votes. It could change, but it would also take a pretty huge swing.

4. Awesome!

I hope it pans out!

5. I see TV ads for him on the south side of Chicago (airwaves overlap) He seems like a positive Dem

Hope his message brings voters out
