Everyone loves to discuss politics in the blogosphere and Northwest Indiana is no different.
Northwest Indiana blogger Kevin Tracy is blogging for Mike Huckabee over at his eponymous blog.
I know I have a rather large readership in Northwest Indiana, so to everyone out there who reads this, I’m organizing my first Huckabee Meetup in the region on February 9th.

Gary SWAT Arrests Dad of Baby Josiah in Shooting Case

Gary Police say that baby Josiah Shaw’s father is a person of interest in the case of his killing during a carjacking that left his mother — Kwana Shaw — on life support after a bullet ripped through her lung, reports Lori Caldwell for the Post-Tribune.
Kwana Shaw is in critical condition from a single gunshot wound that destroyed her lung.
Her 13-month-old son is dead, shot twice — in the face and groin — by a carjacker who left the woman’s car a few blocks from the abduction, Lt. Del Stout said Tuesday.
Police believe the child’s father may have left his job at ArcelorMittal’s Burns Harbor plant Monday night to meet Shaw, 29, of Schererville, about 7 p.m. at a friend’s house in the Lancaster Homes complex, 21st and Virginia.
Terry Bethel, also known as Terry Noel, 34, was arrested by Portage police and members of the Gary SWAT team shortly before midnight Monday at his Portage home. Police called him a “person of interest” in the shooting.
