Bayh chickens out, will not run for reelection
Chicken.

Senator Evan Bayh will not run for re-election.
Being reported in the Star, in prepared remarks, Bayh cited excessive partisanship that makes progress on public policy difficult to achieve as the motivation for his decision.
“After all these years, my passion for service to my fellow citizens is undiminished, but my desire to do so in Congress has waned,” he said.
“My decision was not motivated by political concern,” he added. “Even in the current challenging environment, I am confident in my prospects for re-election.”
Door's open...
P.S. This is only better news for Marlin Stutzman and John Hostettler, since it was being said they couldn't raise enough money to beat Bayh ... well he's gone ... and Dan Coats still has the same baggage Bayh did.
