IN-Sen: Dan Coats to Run – Bye Bye Bayh?
Posted by Flap in Barack Obama, Dan Coats, Evan Bayh
Former Indiana Senator Dan Coats
Republican Dan Coats has made it official.
Former U.S. Senator Dan Coats confirmed this morning that he will run for U.S. Senate. During a live interview with Charly Butcher on WOWO radio Coats said his campaign is “up and running, with thousands of volunteers on the ground”.The campaign is still collecting the necessary signatures to enter the Republican primary in May. The former 4th District Congressman said he never expected to be back in politics, but the recent turn the country has taken concerned him, leading him to enter the race.
This will be a clash of the Titans race in Indiana and may indeed determine which party controls the next United States Senate. Watch for Bayh to pick fights with national Democrat leaders and do not expect President Obama to do any events for the Senator any time soon.
Stay tuned…….
