The Washington Candidate
February 25th, 2010 at 1:20 pm by Jim Shella under Jim Shella's Political Blog
When Dan Coats filed his petitions to be on the ballot for U.S. Senate I asked him how he would deal with being labeled the “Washington Candidate” in this race. He responded by saying only, “We’re back in Indiana and we’re here to stay.”
Today I received my first “Coats for Senate Morning Update.” It discusses an interview the former Senator did with a Washington publication (Human Events.) It attacked Democrat Brad Ellsworth by quoting two Washington blogs.
It was sent to me by a public relations person in Washington, DC.
Maybe he likes the label.

Jim,
You’re questions sound like a “push poll” question. It a little like calling Indianapolis residence and said, Would it concern you if you found out that Jim Shella was working with WISHTV creating false headlines to get more viewers?
It’s not true, but the call plants the idea in the residence mind.
Human Events is a well-respected CONSERVATIVE publication.
