Good. Someone needs to keep what should be a safe-ish seat for Republicans competitive.

Since it seems unlikely that Bayh will jump in, Hill might be Democrats' best bet here. Unfortunately, after years' worth of success, it looks like their bench is getting a bit thinner.

Baron Hill reportedly told a gathering of college Democrats that he is running for Senate, though would differ to a Bayh announcement.

Ballard would be a good choice, but I'd prefer to see him take on Pence in a gubernatorial primary.

The GOP's best bet is Mitch Daniels for Senate, either in 2016 or in 2018.

You seem stuck in 2010, talking about how everyone is going to get teabagged. In case you didn't notice, the Tea Party lost every single race in 2014.

The Tea Party had a mixed record in 2014 -- they were very unsuccessful attacking incumbents, but they were very successful in open, safely-Republican seats.

The gains in the open seats would be the primary reason why John Boehner now has the most unmanageable Republican caucus in decades.

Cotton was more establishment than Tea Party, the establishment didn't even try to contest Iowa, and Shannon was the Tea Party candidate in Oklahoma, not Lankford.

Fair point on Sasse/Brat, but the fact remains the Tea Party lost the overwhelming majority of races. Yet according to JCL, tons of incumbent Indiana Republicans are going to get teabagged next year. Oh, and Coats was going to as well until he retired despite the fact that nobody serious was going to run against him. And let's not forget that the Republicans are supposedly guaranteed to win the general if they nominate a Tea Partier like Stutzman, because that worked out so well for Senator Mourdock...

Joni Ernst, Tea Party and won
Ben Sasse, Tea Party and won

Mourdock lost based on his unwise comments. Stutzman is much more wise in how he'd address that. Wish I'd be more engaged in activism but 2016 very likely has a more glorious event in store for me personally. A Mrs JCL

"unwise comments"

That's putting it lightly.

That's putting it lightly.

Had I not personally endorsed him I would've voted for Horning (the Libertarian candidate) over those comments. Just because I'd personally support Stutzman in 2016 if he goes for it doesn't mean there aren't several other Hoosiers I'd also take a long and hard look at.

Rokita (to make a space for Vanatter to run for congress and maybe my first foray into running for the statehouse ((if I weren't working on something much bigger like a Mrs JCL))

John Hostettler, who I backed in 2010
David Macintosh (President of Club for Growth and former President of the Federalist Society)
Jim Buck (my State Senator and one of the leaders for a convention of the state's to get a Balanced a Budget Amendment)

According to RRH, Todd Young seems to be NRSC's choice.

Stutzman seems in, per Roll Call's Matt Fuller.

^ With Fuller also saying Stutzman's making it sound like Rokita and Young will run as well.

In other words the establishments choice while the Senate Conservatives Fund and most of the county parties supporting Stutzman.

Tom Cotton is a puppet to the defense industries like Kelly Ayotte is.

Nor was Sasse (guy thought Medicare Part D was a brilliant medical advancement and won praise from Howard Dean), nor was Lankford (there were two Tea Party candidates in that primary and he was not one of them), nor was Ernst (she was the ESTABLISHMENT CANDIDATE, the tea party candidate was Sam Clovis).

Wow, Wulfric, unimpressed. Your post gets an F. Please get a clue.

Ernst, Sasse, Lankford, Cotton were notable because they united the establishment and the Tea Party in the general election. I think that's where the perception of them being Tea Partiers comes from.

To be fair, I lump them in a lot of the time with the Tea Party because they vote mostly that way, but they definitely weren't propelled to victory in the same way a lot of the 2010 candidates were.

The Establishment and the Tea Party are always united in the general election though. Unless the Tea Party person says something out of turn to where the establishment sits out the election. Tea Partiers never sit out elections, they are always dragged kicking and screaming. That is an incredibly loose definition of Tea Party, to the point where pretty much every Republican politician elected qualifies (which you may believe).

Though I guess I'll give you that discussing the Tea Party is just semantics at this point since they are just a loud re-invention of the conservative wing of the Republican Party.
