The problem with Hostettler is that he is a very weak candidate. he is known light weight who makes many gaffes. He lost by 60-40% a district that he should of held \even in a bad year. He never raised money and he was once arrested for carrying a gun onto an airplane. I would go with Coates no dislike country clubbers more than I do. But, Hostettler will likely be a loser to Ellsworth (a strong Dem candidate) even in a Republican year.

Not according to the Indianapolis Red Star. All 3 Rep candidates out-poll Ellsworth right now. Ellsworth is a weak candidate because he’s a Obama supporter and voted for all the socialist junk last year. Ellsworth is also a danger because the Dems will lose his seat in the House.

I will review all the candidates and vote for my candidate in the primary. If Coats, Hostettler, or whomever wins, I will support that person in the fall election. I don’t want the Dems to have control of the Senate when Supreme Court justices start to retire. I also want a ‘Senate of No’ until 2012.
