Oh boy. Things just don't appear to be going well for our good friend Dan Coats. First, his GOP friends in Washington convinced him to put aside his lucrative lobbying job and float a senate candidacy. Then he quickly bumbled out of the gate as word of his financial dealings and ambivalence toward the Hoosier State trickled out.
Now? Well, there's video evidence that as of two years ago the guy didn't even plan on setting foot back in the state in any real meaningful way ever again.
But Coats said Friday afternoon that he's put aside his plans to retire and will sell that house.
"We do have a second home in North Carolina," he said in an e-mail, "and had plans to spend more time there after retiring. Obviously, I now have no plans to retire, so it's likely we will be selling our North Carolina second home."
In other words, he was going to abandon the state, but now he's totally committed to ol' Indiana.
Well, not so committed that he, you know, wants to actually own property here. But based on the fact that he is flippantly talking about selling a $1.8 million vacation home in the Carolinas, something tells me he'll have a decent hotel room once he gets around to visiting the state.
