Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., writes on his Facebook page:
After much prayer and deliberation, I have decided to remain in the House and to seek reelection to the 6th Congressional District in 2010. I am staying for two reasons. First because I have been given the responsibility to shape the Republican comeback as a member of the House Republican Leadership and, second, because I believe Republicans will win back the majority in the House of Representatives in 2010.
This leaves former Rep. John Hostettler and an state Senator Martin Stutzman as Republican challengers for Sen. Evan Bayh, D. Bayh is still vulnerable to a challenge from either, but he actually trailed Pence in a recent Rasmussen poll.
