I hope former Congressman Burton will run.

Dan Burton would be 79 in 2017. He was not very popular by his last terms in office because he was considered an “absentee” Congressman (missing key votes to go golfing) and almost lost renomination as a result (had he faced a runoff in 2010, he would’ve lost). To give you an idea, he got 84% in the 2006 primary, 52% in 2008 and an appalling 29.7% in 2010 (barely edging Luke Messer, who would run in the adjacent 6th district and win in 2012).

I think Marlin Stutzman deserves the shot in ‘16 as he did in 2010 (Coats should never have come back).
