Update: Dan Dumezich sent me and others a message yesterday that he "is not" out of the race, and is still considering a run. He mentioned it was a misunderstanding between he and Howey.
I have said here on multiple occasions that I would personally much prefer Dan Dumezich (R) from Schererville run against embattled Unites States Representative Visclosky (D-IN 1) instead of going after Senator Bayh.
Today the Howey Report breaks the news that Dumezich says "nope" to running in the Republican primary against Sen. Marlin Stutzman and banker from Richmond Don Bates Jr.
I'll keep my eyes open today for any more news, but it does appear there will be a contested Republican primary, and the monetary advantage for Evan Bayh continues to grow. Other news today suggests that Bayh's wife Susan is on mulitple health care boards, and making a ton of cash.
More today on health care locally.
