Rusthoven Looks To Battle With Bayh
Peter Rusthoven is facing two opponents in next year's Republican Primary for U.S.Senate, but with lots of money and support lined up, he's looking toward the ultimate opponent.

""I think it will be the highest profile U.S.Senate race in the country for several reasons...For many people in the Democrat Party, Evan Bayh is looked upon not as a senator, but as a future president of the United States..."Rusthoven said during an interview Thursday afternoon before speaking at the Kosciusko County Republican Hall of Fame dinner at Ramada Inn in Warsaw.
