Senator Evan Bayh’s (D- IN) announcement that he will not be running for re-election appears to be a big old flipping of the bird to Obama and the Democrats, particularly since he waited until the last possible moment. Unless, of course, there is some scandal of which we are not yet aware.
The two-term senator is known as a moderate Democrat. Former GOP Sen. Dan Coats had been planning to challenge Bayh in November — but a senior Democratic source told Fox News that recent polling showed Bayh way ahead of Coats, and that the retirement must have been a personal decision.
In prepared remarks published by The Indianapolis Star, Bayh said he was “confident” about his prospects for re-election, but discouraged in his work on Capitol Hill by excessive partisanship.
You’d think they’d learn by the election results thus far this year, but apparently they are even slower than I ever imagined. Their leadership is plowing ahead with a radical leftist agenda anyway, even though the people do not want it. Unmitigated gall AND stupidity.
Even better and more of a bird flip? Bayh did not even tell Harry Reid that he isn’t seeking re-election until AFTER the news had already broken in the media.
Hee hee.
