…but not so now when Dan Coats is coming home.

The Indy Star:

Indiana Democratic Party Chairman Dan Parker said that being a banking lobbyist could make Coats a tough sell to voters.

“The revolving door from Senate to lobbyist is one thing. Trying to revolve the door from lobbyist to the U.S. Senate is another,” he said.

State Democrats put out a news release mocking Coats for deciding to “come back for a visit.”

“A lot has changed since Coats abandoned the Hoosier state for the posh life of a Washington insider,” they said.

See, when Democrats come back to Indiana to run for office, they call it service (especially if they never lived here before, like Evan Bayh). When Republicans return to Indiana to run for office, that’s a revolving door.

Evan Bayh and Baron Hill better not let the revolving door hit them on their way out.
