Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-IN) is mulling a bid for the U.S. Senate in 2016, now that Sen. Dan Coats (R-IN) has announced he won’t run for re-election.
In a statement, Stutzman writes:
For too long America has been on the wrong track and we desperately need to reform the way Washington does business if we want future generations to live the American Dream. I care very deeply about my fellow Hoosiers and the many challenges we face as a nation. Over the next month, Christy and I will very seriously consider pursuing a seat in the United States Senate, and I will declare my candidacy if I feel that is the best place to advance a conservative and reform minded agenda that will strengthen America both at home and abroad.
Coats said earlier in the day he plans on retiring after this term:
Today I am announcing that I will not seek re-election to the United States Senate. This was not an easy decision. While I believe I am well-positioned to run a successful campaign for another six-year term, I have concluded that the time has come to pass this demanding job to the next generation of leaders.

Good for Dan Coats. I’m glad at least one guy knows that he isn’t God’s gift to this country & doesn’t have to stay in until he’s carried out. He should have a chat with John McCain.
Memo to all Republican candidates:
Please refrain from ever mentioning abortion and rape in the same sentence.
Otherwise look for Evan Bayh to take this seat back for the Dems.
