Time’s up conservatives. We must now unite and we must now rally to save Indiana from the Democrats. The time is now. There can be no more waiting.
For months conservatives have sat on the sidelines in the Indiana Senate race. The NRSC dragged former Senator Dan Coats from North Carolina to Indiana and put him into the race. They said he would be warmly re-embraced by the Indiana conservative grassroots. They said he could raise between $500,000.00 and a million dollars. They said he was a perfect fit.
Now, like in Florida, we must save the NRSC from itself and save Indiana from the Democrats.
No more sitting on the sidelines. The numbers are in. Coats is not raising the money they said he could raise. He’s not even close to the low ball expectation others set for him. He is not getting the grassroots support they said he could get. He is going to lose the NRA endorsement to the Democrat more likely than not.
Conservatives nationally must drop what they are doing, focus on Indiana, and rally to Marlin Stutzman. The election is 19 days away.
Across Indiana, Marlin Stutzman is gaining traction. He is winning straw poll after straw poll. He is raising money. He is getting endorsements across the state from legislators, pro-life groups, farmers — real people in Indiana and experienced Republicans.
The conservative grassroots in Indiana have made the call — not me, not national leaders. It is time to rally to them. I stepped up. I made the call to go with Marlin Stutzman when others were telling me to go with Coats.
I’ve prayed for him. I’ve given him money. I’ve spent my time pounding the keys on my keyboard for him. It is your turn.
Get up conservatives. Get up and fire up. We must unite. We must do it now. There is no time left. The primary is on the horizon, just 19 days away on May 4, 2010.
Stop dithering. Stop debating. Stop waiting for Coats to deliver what the NRSC said he would deliver and that we now know he cannot.
Go with Marlin Stutzman. He will not disappoint you. Let’s help him and together put Indiana in the GOP column come November. Coats cannot win. Marlin Stutzman can and will.
I aim to win. I hope conservatives nationally will aim to win too.
bttt
Is there a national telephone campaign being run?
Who is Stutzman? Coates I’ve voted for, back when I was still an Indiana resident.
This article sounds like Marlin Stutzman and Dan Coats were the only ones at the debate. The GOOD ones were not even talked about in your article. Richard Behney was the only Conservative Constitutional Christian man in the running. Richard started the Very first Tea Party in Indiana. He has won the hearts of many Tea Party groups. Also, he did not vote for one of if not the largest tax increase in Indiana history! I have heard Marlins defense, and it still does not fly. So, the only two who are not already politicians are Richard Behney and Don Bates. So, Indiana, think very hard about what you are about to do. Politics as usual or a REAL Constitutional Conservative! Richard Behney is that person!!

I agree with Mr. B. Your post portrayed Stutzman as the only alternative to the NRSC plant. That is clearly not true. For you to paint the race thus is dishonest by my standards, particularly posting it in Breaking News without the integrity of a full picture.
I thought Hoestettler as the Conservative of choice in Indiana? That’s who I’m voting for, and I think that’s who is being endorsed by Garrison, et al. Never heard of Stutzman.
John Hostettler is the man we should be supporting. A true conservative and great on the immigration issue.
THIS IS AMNESTY--THE SAME POSITION THAT MCCAIN TOOK. ANY LEGISLATION THAT ALLOWS THE LAWBREAKERS TO STAY AND WORK HERE IS AMNESTY.
Listened to John yesterday in Washington, IN. Never voted against him.
Don’t know ay of the candidates, but how is your post fair? He just posted an article someone else wrote.
Red State is a Pro-Homosexual GOP website. I will NOT give them my time or help them in any way.
Red State is a RINO website.
Good post. I salute you!
I have met him. He attended a meeting we were hosting. Great guy who would make a great Senator. Young, principled, and energetic.
Seriously? I didn’t know this. Evidence?
An NRSC schmoe can't even get the NRA. Not sure if I should laugh or cry.
John Hostettler is a conservative.Stutzman is not.
Oh and excellent job there Mr. Steele.
Richard Behney is the only solid conservative candidate running. As you said, he started the first Tea Party group in Indiana and is the right choice for the job. He has my vote.
