Groping for an explanation of Jenner's decision, Republican State Chairman Robert Matthews said the Senator was "just tired of carrying on the fight for conservatism by himself." But some observers of Indiana politics ventured that Jenner's announcement was a ploy designed t01) jolt the state Republican organization out of its lassitude, and 2) set up a draft-Jenner movement.
