INDIANA: Four-term State Senator John Waterman (R) filed paperwork to launch an Independent exploratory committee to challenge Governor Mitch Daniels (R) in November. Waterman, a former Sullivan County Sheriff, says he's running to give "disgruntled" voters a better conservative choice than the incumbent. He told the Evansville Courier he intends to select "a Christian conservative" as his Lieutenant Governor runningmate by this Wednesday. An independent statewide candidate must collect 33,000 valid petition signatures by June 30 to qualify for the general election ballot. Recent polling -- before Waterman further complicated the race -- showed the vulnerable Daniels already locked in a touch fight against former Congresswoman Jill Long Thompson (D).
