Delighted about this.

Bayh messed up the Dems in 2010; but in hindsight there is no difference between 51 and 52 majority; especially since Bayh was one of the more moderate senators.

But it'll make a big difference here. Makes a D majority much more possible; and that means Schumer will have control over the Chamber.

Has a big money advantage, massive name recognition + popularity. The lobbying stuff will not hurt him since Young has a similar background (so did Coats). Also serves a flashback to time when congress was more functional.

Tilt D for me. Which is a massive swing from Likely R if it was Hill. Do not doubt that Hill will be rewarded handsomely for this; be it DNC or Clinton Admin.

Wasn't Young a lobbyist before too?

Dan Coats was a lobbyist between his senate terms but that didn't affect him in '10.

Donnelly has high approvals coming out the IN, and you never know, the GOP may pull a Colorado.

Assuming Trump picks Pence and Bayh stays in the Senate, how does Pence for VP affect Bayh's chances?

Little to no effect.

Pence is not popular but any replacement will lack enough name recognition to get ppl to GOTV.
