It’s the pretty boy thing. Just ask Dan Coats. He wouldn’t run for reelection to his senate seat because Evan Bayh was running. That was ‘98. 12 years later Evan Bayh quits and Coats ‘steps up’. Consider them the Kennedy’s without the drownings and rapes/drugs. This pretty boy can write his ticket. When you look at Indiana you get Dick Lugar and the current governor as senators-squishy. Let’s hope this Bayh doesn’t become one of the 100 senators.
You forgot about Lee Hamilton, another fluffer from Indiana that served for 34 years. Good enough to fool most Hoosiers.
Dick Lugar was a Rino with a capital “R”.. The fact that Obama called Lugar his favorite Republican tells you everything you needed to know about Lugar!
