Indian Hill turning blue? (Part 4)

Funny thing about the 2nd Congressional District. It stretches out from the wealthy suburbs of Warren and Hamilton County, where Republicans rule, all the way out to hardscrabble Appalachian foothills of Pike and Scioto County, where Democrats thrive.

And where do the two Democratic candidates for the 2nd Congressional District seat come from?

Indian Hill.

Go figger.

Steve Black and Vic Wulsin, the two Democrats vying for the chance to take on Jean Schmidt next fall, will show up in the same room Wednesday night with their Indian Hill neighbors for a meeting of the Indian Hill Democratic Club (yes, there is such a thing).

The fun starts at 6 p.m. at Livingston Lodge, 9350 Given Rd., with both candidates being asked to lay out their positions on the Iraq war and health care.

All are welcome, said Indian Hill Democratic ward chair Marilyn Hyland, although a $10 donated is suggested.

And, since it is Indian Hill, blue or not, there will be a light buffet, wine and beer.
