The National GOP leadership is dumping huge amounts of pork into a handful of Indiana districts in an effort to help save the seats of embattled GOP Reps Chris Chocola, John Hostettler, and Mike Sodrel. Combined, the three Congressmen’s districts have been greased with a staggering $24.57 million out of the $36.16 million in earmarks Indiana received in several recent House bills -- two-thirds of all the state's pork. The idea is to give Count Chocola and company something -- anything -- to run on. As Scott Frisch, the author of “The Politics of Pork," told the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette: "Tangible things like roads and water projects are things you can actually point at and say to your constituents, ‘I brought you things. I have power in Washington.'" For now, anyway.
