Banks will be a great replacement
Banks will be an improvement over Braun.
The interesting races are at the U.S. House level, to see who wins the primaries for the 3 open Republican House seats (all of which should be easy holds in November) and who wins the contested primary in CD-5 between incumbent Ukrainiac Victoria Spartz and conservative state legislator Chuck Goodrich.
Looks like Goodrich going to lose. Ex-Congressman Marlin Stutzman may be winning in CD-3 and ex-Congressman John Hostettler was running in CD-8 (he lost). Hostettler first won election to the House in 1994 and was defeated in the anti-Republican “Abramoff” landslide in 2006.
