Indiana elections

Indiana

Democrat Evan Bayh's unexpected announcement in February that he was retiring after two terms in the Senate because of "too much partisanship" in Washington opened the door for Republicans to pick up his seat. Polls give GOP nominee Dan Coats, a former senator, the advantage over Democratic Rep. Brad Ellsworth.Two Democrats are in close races to hold on to their House seats -- Joe Donnelly in the 2nd District and Baron Hill in the 9th. The GOP also hopes to snatch Ellsworth's open seat in the 8th District.There is no race for governor this year. Obama won Indiana in 2008.
