Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh will not seek re-election this November, an unexpected decision that hands Republicans an opportunity for a pick-up in a year when Democrats are already defending several open Senate seats.
It goes on to say that Bayh's polling has him up 20 points over Dan Coats, but I don't believe that for a minute. Bayh has pissed too many people off over the years, and he's finally recognized that he fucked up by supporting health care and an increasing federal budget this year.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Perhaps someone should come up with a list of the Democratic Senators who are running for re-election in 2010. Sounds like it would be a shorter list.

Go. Now.
Can any Republicans who suppose themselves brilliant explain how Bushes TARP was NOT Socialism? Can any of you tell me, regardless of what your Party Articulates it believes in and has for however long, I should believe a sole word of it after seeing continued deficit spending under your politicians? I exempt Reagan from this - the Eastern Bloc needed to be trounced and I think he's the only leader of the last fifty years who had a sound excuse for it and as I see it we broke their backs economically. But since then?
Since I'm not a Republican, and never claimed to be, it's not my job to answer that question. But the fact is that your Democrat president has made Bush and the Pubbies look like pikers while spending this country into not just the next generation, but possibly the two after it.
The way this problem gets solved is definitely not to elect Democrats; they've simply been enablers for Øbama's wild spending spree that's about to bankrupt the nation. I'll vote for Republicans in a heartbeat to get people like Reid and Pelosi back to working honest jobs (if that's possible for them), but I'll also hold the Republicans who get elected to replace them accountable for getting us the hell out of this fiscal mess that BOTH parties got us into.
And FWIW, madam, you can take the Bush-bashing elsewhere. Y'all have had over a year now to make things better, and all I see is that you've made them worse. It's high time that Democrats, from the top on down, started taking ownership of the problems they're exacerbating, instead of whining about how it's all Bush's fault.
And let's also not forget that the last two years of the Bush Administration were marred by the Reid-Pelosi Congress, that's never seen a deficit it didn't like.
