| | 2nd District in Indiana - Chris Chocola, Joe Donnelly - 2006 Midterm Elections - New York Times |
 | | And Chris Chocola, a Republican, won his second term in Congress, defeating Joe Donnelly, the Democratic challenger, by a margin of 54 percent to 45 percent. |
 | | Chocola, a business executive, has a decisive lead in fundraising, but in July the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee pledged help for the Donnelly campaign. |
 | | Chocola, meanwhile, has to convince voters not to punish him for being a Republican at a time when President Bush’s ratings have dropped and the state’s Republican governor, Mitch Daniels, has made some unpopular moves. |
