Intensity in Indiana

Something you don't see on the campaign trail every day: Barry Welsh, the Dems' long-shot nominee in Indiana's 6th District (Muncie), was punched in the face by Republican election official Will Statom after Welsh stepped in to break up a fight between the election official and a local reporter.

Statom was angry at what he considered the reporter's pro-Democratic bias in explaining the surge of voter registrations for the upcoming Indiana primary. The election official was arrested for battery.
