Indiana Statehouse: Up for grabs?

WTHR :

"In the Senate, half of the seats are up for grabs. Eighteen Republicans and seven Democrats will retain their seats. This election, five Republicans and two Democrats are running unopposed. That means Republicans need only three wins to retain control of the state Senate.

But the Indiana House is a different story. All 100 seats are up for grabs. Sixteen Republicans and 17 Democrats are running uncontested. That leaves two-thirds of the seats up for grabs.

Jon Elrod, 29, has worked the soles of his shoes walking the 97th district. His yard signs mark his path. His own party - the GOP - told him to go out and earn his stripes in the 97th district. He did, and he was rewarded with nearly $100,000 for television ads in his hope to unseat ten-year incumbent Ed Mahern."
