It appears we won’t have Evan to kick around anymore.
Senator Evan Bayh, the Indiana Democrat, has decided not to run for a third term this year.
Mr. Bayh will announce his decision at a press conference at 2 p.m., an aide confirmed on Monday. The decision was closely held by Mr. Bayh, a party official in Indiana said, and came as a surprise to Democrats in his state who had already started working on his campaign.
I wonder who we’ll wind up with as a replacement? There’s certainly no shortage of wing-nut doofesses who would be more than happy to keep a senate seat warm for a few terms.
Behind the scenes there are whisperings of a possible move by IN-8 Congressman Brad Ellsworth to step up.
