Sen. Evan Bayh will not run for re-election, a decision that will shock Democrats and Republicans alike in Indiana.
In prepared remarks, Bayh, 54, cited excessive partisanship that makes progress on public policy difficult to achieve as the motivation for his decision.
Holy crap!

I was just going to email you. the sisnister side of me thinks he is going to vote for some kind of health care revival and he knows he cant win after doing that.
This goes to show you that Evan Bayh had been a fighter with no punch for 12-years. To state that the fight is to tough, that the pickering is to much, the politics is to much, that the fight for doing the right thing is not worth it, that standing up and serving this country is no longer worth it – shows to me that Evan Bayh was the wrong choice 12-years ago and has been nothing more than a Hollywood politician during this time, only hoping to ride the coat tails to a higher ground. For him to say the fight is to tough anymore is a disgrace to our veterans who have given their lifes and to those that currently serve. It is also an insult to the rest of us who have to battle each day to make it through the political nightmare/taxes/laws that Bayh and his political pals have created.
Wha hoppen? Did April 1st come early this year? Or is this Angry White Boy's idea of Christmas?
Would that make this an Angry White Christmas? I'm just asking …
Now if only EVERYONE in Washington D.C. would call it quits. It doesn't matter if the door slaps 'em in the backsides while they leave.
Partisanship? HUH? Don't they still have a 59-41 majority? Here's hoping his last vote is not for a train wreck healthcare bill as he leaves washington. Bye Bayh.
Oh crap! I didn't cover that bet on the grid. Once again a Democrat costs me $$.
But seriously, does he come home and run for Governor? (can he do that?)
There's really no room for a centrist in Congress anymore, I dont blame the guy. He gave many years as a public servant when he was governor, and then an additional 12 years as a senator. Now that the GOP requires a 2/3 majority for any legislation to pass, can anyone really blame the guy?
Maybe if he'd abandoned his seat midstream because all those official duties were too much of a hassle and were interfering with his ability to make money on the speech circuit it would be ok?
