It was yet another bad night for Monroe County Republicans, who cannot seem to get out of the slump we have been in since the anti-Bush tide of 2004. It was only ten years ago that Republicans picked up two seats on the county council for a 5-2 majority and unseated an incumbent county commissioner for a 2-1 majority. Republicans even defeated the mayor of Bloomington in the secretary of state race when Todd Rokita got more votes than John Fernandez in Monroe County, but 2002 seems like a lifetime ago now.
