Dan Coats will run against Evan Bayh for the US Senate in Indiana, and I have mixed emotions about this.

Coats is clearly a wingnut, he was screaming “wag the dog” about Clinton military activities in addition to being a fierce supporter of Harriet Miers, but he is running against Evan Bayh, and Evan Bayh really sucks.

I know that LBJ said that, “Better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside pissing in,” but Bayh is inside the tent pissing in.

What’s more, he’s corrupt, bought and paid for though his wife, who gets highly remunerative board positions by virtue of his pro-special interest votes.

Since he’s given up on being President, he’s moved very far to the right, and he’s more of a hurt than a help.
