United States Senate - Field widens for GOP

I was traveling yesterday and picked up this news on my blackberry early but wasn't able to take the time to write a good post. So today we'll let the other great bloggers in our our state tell the story in their words:

Race for the US Senate: Hostettler in against Bayh from Frugal Hoosiers. Let's be honest, Frugal Hoosiers is tightly aligned with Governor Mitch Daniels' campaign to retake the Indiana House in 2010. It was nice of them to toss out a token post for Hostettler, and even his video, but this race isn't on the target list for Mitch ... or he's happy with Marlin Stutzman and another entrant into the field didn't get his team to change their focus.

Suddenly a Crowded GOP Field Emerges Hoosier Access asks, "can any of these guys raise the $12 million needed to effectively compete with Even Bayh?"

A good article from Southern Indiana by Scott Fluhr of Hoosier Pundit, with some break out niche analysis of Hostettler's supporters ... suggesting that Ron Paul groups may like him best. Not good news for Behney of tea party resume, since the tea partiers in many communities have merged with Ron Paul groups.

Everyone posted the same video, so I'll let you check it out on their blogs. My analysis is forthcoming once we get some commenting going here. But in short I'd say my own guess is that Evan Bayh is safe so far, probably 52-48 over the Republican primary winner. So far!
