Is it Bayh’s new polling numbers that led to Dan Coats suddenly deciding he wants to go back to the Senate?
In ‘98, he walked away from the Senate rather than face Bayh in November.
Doesn’t sound like much political courage to me.
Part of me really wishes Coats woulda stayed out of this.
This country and its voters thirst is for those NOT entrenched in DC.
I fear Coats will mean another 6 years of Evan “But I wanna be President someday, too “ Bayh.
Don’t see why Coats would have been surprised by this. He should have expected ANY smear having to do with his public life, and been ready to answer it.
