Hopefully Hostettler will run and save the Indiana GOP from Mourdock Part II.

Yes, please!

Hostettler is more like Ron Paul. Very similar House voting records. Was my guy in 2010.

Only Hostettler running would keep me from endorsing Stutzman.

Hostettler is a much smarter individual in how he would phrase policy than Mourdock. I've met him and he'd be a great senator as well.

That's a pretty competetive race now.

Which means IN might become a target for Hillary as well if the early polls do not look all too bad.

The Dems are best off going after OH or FL to pick up that fourth seat. But, if Walker is nominee; anything is possible.

Fourth seat? I'd say the third and fourth be needed in the two you mentioned, letalone defend CO and NV

Dems are best off going after every possible competitive seat, not just the most obvious ones. They'll need as many as they can get to have a chance of holding the Senate in 2018. There's a reason Republicans in 2014 didn't stop at just WV, MT, and SD.

Baron Hill is probably the top IN Dem candidate for this seat after Bayh, who we all know isn't running for anything, likely ever. I'd still rate this Likely R for now, depending on who the GOP nominates and how the Presidential election goes.

Yeah... Baron Hill is tidal wave insurance. He's as good a candidate as Indiana Democrats can realistically get, but he's not even as good as Donnelly.

I could see Hill beating Stutzman provided a few things go right for him. I doubt he could beat a candidate like Todd Young however.

Hill is solid and may actually get help from voters mad at Pence with no incumbent in this race, but it's not going to get near as much hype and the governor's race is lean R as it is. This has to be the tick above that to start. Likely is a bit strong of a rating.

Baron Hill faced Mike Sodrel in most of his elections to his seat. Sodrel was a dreadful candidate. As soon as Hill got a non-terrible candidate (Todd Young) he lost fairly easily. Hill won't win this election if it's a normal Hillary win, even against Stutzman.

Hill could definitely beat Stutzman in a normal year, even if he'd be the underdog.  He's a strong candidate and Stutzman is an absolutely terrible one.

All eyes will be on Sen Toomey & Portman duo, Dems shouldnt take eyes off those states. But Baron Hill; Feingold, Strickland, and Zopp would be excellent new senators to Dems arsenal. Strickland and Hill are Casey Dems and would stand a chance more or less against the GOP states.

Being a Casey dem is not a sign of strength. Casey let TOM SMITH get within single digits of beating him in 2012. I can easily see him going down in 2018.

We'll see. I think you all are overrating Hill's abilities.

Casey may run for gov; instead he feels Wolf is unpopular enough; but they are friends.

Not leaving 272 or 290 freiwal; all eyes are on Toomey& Portman duo.  Hill will be certainly a bonus pickup.

Casey is NOT going to primary Wolf. Even you should be able to figure that out.

Not to mention that this line of discussion has NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS THREAD.
