Kokomo Council President Mike Karickhoff is aiming at State Rep. Ron Herrell and this seat is a likely pickoff for Republicans. Herrell is a lackluster campaigner and fundraiser, with most of his support coming through House Democrats, and he lost a mid-term election in 2002. He also has been at odds with Kokomo Democrats such as Mayor Greg Goodnight. Republicans already have used billboards to tie Herrell to House Speaker B. Patrick Bauer....We see this seat as one likely to flip from the Democrats to the Republicans. Horse Race Status: Leans Karickhoff/R Pickup
