By not in system - AOL News
WABASH, Ind. (Sept. 25) - Democrat Brad Ellsworth had just leveled an attack - one he acknowledged was incomplete at best - against his Republican rival for the open Senate seat in Indiana when he asked reporters what they wanted to know. "When are you going back on TV?" came the question from one reporter. "I knew you'd ask that," Ellsworth said with a sheepish smile. It's an obvious question for Ellsworth and his uphill campaign against former Sen. Dan Coats, a veteran lawmaker looking to return to Washington amid voter dissatisfaction with establishment politicians. Trailing in the polls ...

(Two of the members counted in that current majority are independents Joe Lieberman of Connecticut and Bernard Sanders of Vermont).

Will Mark Souder Sex Scandal Hurt the Comeback Chances of His Ex-Boss Dan Coats?
By Robert Schmuhl - Politics DailySOUTH BEND, IND. -- When Congressman Mark Souder took the microphone at a tea-party gathering of the Elkhart County Patriots last month, I thought to myself that he must be feeling pressure from his deep-pockets challenger, Bob Thomas, who was commanding the area's airwaves with commercial after commercial criticizing Souder as "a career politician."

Just ...
