The Indiana Senate race Tuesday night did not contain good news for Chuck DeVore — the Tea Party-blessed GOP candidate for Senate in California, who we wrote about in today's dead tree edition. There in Hoosierland, the Tea Party-blessed candidate Marlin Stutzman lost, finishing second behind GOP "establishment" candidate Dan Coats
