Gilroy Gives Local GOP A Lot To Think About

Sue Ann Gilroy stepped beyond the podium, spoke without notes and told local Republicans what they needed to hear Thursday night. Indiana's secretary of state, who's outwardly showing interest in succeeding Dan Coats in the U.S.Sentate, opened her speech at 2517 with a few typical jabs at liberal Democrats, then settled into the thrust of her speech.

Gilroy, who stepped into office as part of the "Lugar Team" during the 1994 Republican revolution, spoke of disappointment in the election results of 1996, which included victories for Democrats in the governor's mansion and the White House.
