From James Snyder
There is much Hub Bub about former Senator Dan Coats being recruited to run for US Senate in North Carolina, oops I mean Virginia, oops again I mean INDIANA. We know that Indiana Senator Dick Lugar made a deal with the Devil in O8 leaving Indiana up for grabs and ultimately giving the state to Obama. So who got Coats into this race. Evan Bayh!
He saw that there were two candidates he could not beat Marlin Stutzman and former Congressman Hostettler. Both polled very well for not spending a dime in this race and it scared the living daylights our of Bayh. He had to find the one person who could not win. Of course the easiest place to look would be Washington DC.
Senator Bayh and his staff found a lobbyist who has lobbied for firms representing Hugo Chavez's interest. He also found a person who has also lobbied for the big banks who received bail out money. Better yet he has found someone who doesn't even want to live in Indiana. While the Indiana establishment has lost it way the Evan Bayh recruiting machine has not.
Indiana Republicans and even those astute as Mike Pence have taken the bait. Of course the Neo Cons in DC are excited because they don't understand Hoosiers. They believe we are like New Yorkians who don't mind carpetbagging. You would think someone like Mike Pence was still in touch with Hoosiers and would know this was not the case.
The only argument I have heard from those calling me and wanting to pay me to get petition signatures for Mr. Coats, is the other guys can't raise the money. I have two questions. Have any of you heard of Scott Brown? The money will come. Didn't Mr. Coats not run in 1998 because he could not raise the money to beat Bayh? What makes everyone think he can raise the money all of the sudden.
All I have to say is that Mr. Coats will not win in Lake and Porter Counties. I am sure of that. With respect for Mr. Coats former career I wish he would stay out and protect his good name.
