As EW was flipping through the headlines this morning, a pleasant surprise surfaced on the editorial page of the Terre Haute Tribune Star.

Not only did the editorial keep an open mind on the 08 congressional election, but recognized the potential candidacy of Terre Haute resident Greg Goode as a positive development for Vigo County (which is normally a Democratic stronghold).

From the editorial,

Those who know Goode and have worked with him have
high praise for his abilities. They say he is smart,
articulate and well-informed on public policy issues.
ISU has benefited from his presence as an advocate and
lobbyist. Most of his work has occurred behind the
scenes, but his reputation indicates he would have
little trouble making the transition from supporting
cast to leading man.

It is our hope that the 08 election will be a race of ideas and reinforcing conservative values. If Goode does emerge as the GOP challenger, we wish him well.
