IN-Sen: Not Much to Choose From

Returning to my concern about the direction of the Republican Party, Indiana will select their GOP nominee to challenge for Evan Bayh’s seat tomorrow. Let’s see if you can match the man to his biography.

1) John Hostettler

2) Dan Coats

3) Marlin Stutzman

A) A member of the Fellowship (or Family) along with the disgraced Mark Sanford, John Ensign, and Chip Pickering. Former U.S. Senator and staffer for Dan Quayle. Endorsed by James Dobson. Considered the moderate in the race because he has cast votes for gun control.

B) A former member of the House of Representatives. Voted against Katrina Aid, Medicare Part D, No Child Left Behind, and the deal to end Gingrich’s government shutdown. Refused to endorse McCain in 2008. Wants to shut down the Departments of Education and Commerce. Voted against the Iraq War Resolution. Endorsed by Ron Paul.

C) A former state senator. Endorsed by Jim DeMint’s Senate Conservative Fund, by RedState’s Erick Erickson, and by Mike Huckabee.

Seriously. Those are the choices the Republicans have provided the Indiana electorate tomorrow. Meanwhile, the Democrats have no choice. They will take the anti-choice Brad Ellsworth, and they will have to try to like it. How incredibly pathetic…all the way around. What’s wrong with this country?
