Indiana Democratic Party Chairman John Zody believed the condition would continue to spread among Indiana Republicans. It’s why Indiana Democrats released a public service announcement on risk factors and symptoms of the flare-up.

“It’s just the beginning. I’m positive more Indiana Republicans will come down with Debate Dodge Fever,” said Zody. “It’s about showing up to work and Republicans seem to think they aren’t accountable to Hoosier taxpayers. Until they believe they are, they’ll do everything they can to hide from Hoosier voters.”
