Ellsworth represents SW Indiana including Evansville. What I remember living there for 4 1/2 years when doing my undergrad degree, the area is very conservative. More than likely, he just signed his paperwork to be voted out this November. The area is big on the Right to Life.
Ellsworth is the Cemocratic candidate for Bayh’s Senate seat. I think he just lost the election, though he may not know it yet.
Ellsworth’s senate chances are toast.
