If Ellsworth runs, this is definitely a race to watch.
There's always the potential for Hostettler to stick his foot in his mouth or trip himself up and lose the race, but really he's been doing both those things for several terms now and he's been a top Democrat target for several terms now and he's still kickin'.
Which seat is this?
Same old story every two years. The RATS throw everything they got at Hostettler, and he keeps on dodging their bullets. The RATS best chance at Hostettler was in 1998, with Evan Bayh running for the Senate. If the RATS can't beat Hostettler with Bayh on top of ticket, then they never will oust him. Next year, Hostettler should win by his usual margin, 52-47.
A more interesting House race would be next door in the IN-09. Baron Hill wants a rematch from last year when he lost to Mark Sodrel by 5,000 votes.
