Indiana's Dem House Members Keeping Silent On Presidential Race

As Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton battle for Indiana voters on May 6, one group of key Democrats have stayed on the sidelines: The state's five Dem House members, who face various pitfalls if they go either way -- perhaps making neutrality the safest course for now.

A loud and proud endorsement of Clinton -- and to a certain extent for Obama, too -- could come back to haunt those who represent districts likely to go heavily for McCain in November, while an endorsement of Obama could be seen as undermining Sen. Evan Bayh, the state's top Democrat and a Clinton backer.

all, can you let us know if you have trouble commenting?

As long as this reply shows up, then I guess it's working.

I was already logged on, but it asked for my user name and password again. I entered them correctly, but it said it was invalid. I had to completely log off and back on again to post this.

One thing that's odd, though....I just looked at my profile and all my comments over the past two months are gone. Just a few of my very old ones from Jan-Feb show up.

I have a problem almost every time I post. But it's not usually the same problem I had last time. There are four or five different malfunctions that more or less rotate.

They are quiet because there are no Democrats running for President anymore . . . Commenting on which of the three Republicans still in the race is inappropriate for Democratic Party members.
