Fifteen term Congressman Dan Burton from Indiana's fifth congressional district has announced he will not run for reelection this fall. Burton cited family health problems as the reason for his retirement. One would imagine this sudden retirement has caught prospective candidates off guard. Indiana holds its primary in early May but the filing deadline is February 10. Expect former Burton aide and Carmel State Senator Mike Delph to seek the seat. Delph had contemplated a primary run against Senator Dick Lugar.
