Indiana political guru Brian Howey says that Republican Rep. Mike Pence will not run against Sen. Evan Bayh in 2010. In his January 1 column Howey quotes Pence's chief-of-staff Bill Smith as saying that Pence “has no plans” for a Senate race in 2010. He will seek re-election and “focus on electing Republican majorities” in the U.S. and Indiana houses. As for a gubernatorial run, Smith said that decision would come after next November.
