"Two years ago, Democrat Joe Donnelly challenged Rep. Chris Chocola with little cash and even less name recognition. His campaign 'ads' consisted of standing along a busy street, handing out fliers to passing motorists.
Chocola largely ignored him and won easily.
This election season, Chocola is paying more attention. Democrats need just 15 seats to regain control of the U.S. House, and three Indiana districts - Chocola's 2nd in northern Indiana and southern Indiana's 8th and 9th - are among the nation's most vulnerable on Nov. 7.
It's a rare twist for Indiana, often seen as a GOP haven. Seven of the state's nine congressional delegates are Republicans, and GOP Sen. Richard Lugar is arguably the state's most popular politician. The state hasn't supported a Democrat for president in more than 40 years, and Republicans control the governor's office and Legislature."
