Sen. Evan Bayh, Indiana Democrat, stunned the political world Monday by announcing he will not seek re-election this year, leaving open a seat Republicans will have a good chance of winning and underscoring just how poisonous the atmosphere in Washington has become.
The moderate lawmaker becomes the third Democratic senator to give up his seat in the last couple of months, a move that is bound to ignite hopes among Republicans and fears among Democrats that the Senate could change hands in November's elections. Currently Democrats have 57 seats, Republicans 41, with two independents allied with the majority.
Mr. Bayh said rampant partisanship has made Washington unworkable and is chasing him from Congress.

wake the f up!
These evil tools are getting out because Soros and a few American mega corporations are about to buy out the Congress and senate!
They have been booted behind closed doors to make room for "a new hope", that will be progressives and rino's backed by a butt load federal reserve notes
6:56, where you been? soros has already been buying it! how the hell do you think obama got in there? wasn't bayh there all these years? so I guess he isn't responsible for anything that has happened over the last what, 20, 30years he was there! the democrats see the writing on the wall they bankrupted the country and are now running for the hills! good riddance! and the progressives and rino's will only win if enough idiots vote for them!
How can you blame the guy? He seems like a sincere, decent and HONEST politician who is DISGUSTED working in an environment (U.S. Congress) that is out of control!
in the olden days wasn't there a saying, you know the ship was sinking when the rats were abanden the ship?
It is a shame that a man has to abandon Congress because he feels that he is powerless against a bunch of a--holes that will not serve the people. America, this is a wake up call to all of us.
Bye Bye Bayh. He just didn't want to lose to Dan Coats.
The daily comments on this blog show why Bayh chose to step down. Too many politicians and people simply enjoy the drama of the Left vs Right "gossip mill" (you can't even call it a debate)
Good!! time to see some 'new blood'
This is also the time to start setting term limits and eliminate their 'pensions'--they all put in to Social Security!!
