Senator-Turned-Lobbyist Dan Coats To Make Comeback?
06:30 PM Feb 03, 2010
In true GOP fashion, the Republicans have decided that their standard-bearer in Indiana should be a guy who retired from the Senate because he preferred fighting for big banks over serving the people, and is now trying to buy back into the game.
Former Sen. Dan Coats, the GOP’s purported recruit in Indiana, was in fact lobbying for Bank of America just as they took $15 billion of taxpayer bailout money in 2008.
Now that big banks have had their payday, however, Coats thinks he can travel back through the revolving door to the Senate (as fellow Republican Senate candidates Rob Portman, Marco Rubio and Jane Norton are doing). True, he left Indiana ten years ago, but that’s just a formality, right?
