IN-Sen: Coats retiring

[136or142]

Baron Hill is more likely to run for Governor.

Former U.S Representative and Coat's 2010 challenger Brad Ellsworth as well as South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg and former Evansville Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel are the likeliest Democratic candidates.

Evan Bayh has previously said he's done with elected politics.

Other Republican Senators who could retire (or lose primaries).

1.Alabama, Richard Shelby has been in the Senate since 1986.

2.Arizona, John McCain has been in the Senate since 1986 and is also facing a primary challenger who is potentially very strong.

3.Arkansas, John Boozman has had previous health problems though he seems fine now.

4.Florida, Marco Rubio, likely to run for President.

5.Illinois, Mark Kirk has had health problems though he seems fine now.

6.Iowa, Charles Grassley has been in the Senate since forever.

7.Kentucky, Rand Paul is running for President.

8.Lousiana, Dave "Diaper" Vitter is running for governor in 2015 and if he loses that, maybe he'll do us all a favor and go away.

Beebe might run in Arkansas. It will be like Joe Manchin all over again.

He's comfirmed he's not

I hadn't heard that, could you please provide his quote.

Of course, in the rather unlikely event that Boozman doesn't run for reelection, Beebe may change his mind.

Speaking for myself, I appreciated RogueBeaver posting those tweets here.

Holcomb will announce tomorrow. Stutzman seems close to announcing, Hill seems likeliest to enter for Dems.

1.You left out that, in that article, it states that Bayh isn't interested in running.

2.For the last time, will you please stop spamming the thread!

[136or142]

Stutzman in.

Endorsed, a Bayh entrance withstanding

Bayh has said "Bayh Bayh" to elected politics

Baron Hill officially enters.  Pols speculate on Hill/Young rematch.
