Looks like former Representative and aspirant to Evan Bayh's Senate seat John Hostettler hasn't lost his gift for politically clumsy statements. In his first news release as a Senate candidate, Hostettler assured Hoosiers that Bayh will never vote for the Senate bill: "I can confidently assure Hoosiers that Indiana has one, rock-solid 'No' vote on this issue. Bayh will not vote for the Senate health care bill. The reason is simple: he cannot afford to alienate the health insurance industry." Is Mr. Hostettler a betting man? Has he been paying attention to the past several days' activities, such as Bayh's giving an emotional speech at last week's caucus meeting that seemed to coalesce the Democrats around the bill?
