Schansberg ditching Libertarian run to chair Hankins campaign (by Daniel Suddeath).
A former suitor of Indiana’s 9th District U.S. House seat, Eric Schansberg chose not to run in 2010 because he found a candidate that reflects his core political principles ...
... But he isn’t totally exiled from the race. Schansberg has volunteered for Republican Travis Hankins’ team, and is serving as campaign chairman ...
... Hankins emphasizes issues that Schansberg also touted during his two runs at the House: Reduction of the size of government, instilling Congressional term limits and like Schansberg, Hankins is pro-life on abortion.
Schansberg elaborates on the forthcoming Republican primary at his blog:
The 9th District Republican primary: an overview.
One last thing: Does (Mike) Sodrel's entry help (Todd) Young or Hankins more so? On the one hand, Sodrel divides the establishment vote (at least somewhat). On the other hand, Sodrel divides the segment of voters who are most interested in social conservatism.

I was doing some research for Friday's column and noticed that Hankins hasn't posted anything on his facebook campaign page in months. Besides "merry Christmas " he hasn't been on Twitter since October.
Young on the other hand relesed a statement Monday welcoming Sodrel to the race, sort of.
