This is all kind of confusing...

It's more confusing for BO/BS.

Now I get it. Would be harder for him to run in 2012 if the voters threw him out.

Over at Hugh Hewitt, he is wondering if this means that Bayh may be a primary challenge to Obama in 2012.

Just a different way to look at it.

If true, will he also be tagged with the "quitter" moniker?

"I think Bayh was a reasonably sane guy. He knows something very ugly is coming."

So, WHY don't they warn us??? That's pretty ugly keeping what they know from us.

From your lips to God’s ears. A 100-seat record loss for House Dems would be excellent...

I don't get that. One can run and win while still being a Congressman. Obummer proved it.

Perhaps Bayh wants more time to campaign, do the travel necessary, etc., and doesn't want to be hampered by the responsibilities of the seat? (We know it didn't matter a whit to 0bama, he was never there anyway).

If he was going to have an affair it would not be with another woman.....

I think that Bayh did the right thing. Behind the scenes there is a desperation by Reid, Obama, and Pelosi to get the healthcare fiasco passed by any means possible as soon as possible. Certainly they want it passed before the sit down with Republicans February 25th. Obama, Reid and Pelosi will resort to any means including a Constitutional crisis, they are criminals.

It seems likely that Bayh could not participate in this scam any longer. Don’t be surprised to see him rum against “jugears” in 2012.

Dems have four days until tomorrow to find a candidate

deadlines mean nothing to democrats, Case in point, Lautenbach from New Jersey. And the republicns let them get away with it.

Don’t you remember only a few months ago that Michelle Wookie told us peons how much of a sacrifice it was for her to travel on US taxpayer dollars to Copenhagen to win the Olympics for Chicago? You shouldn’t underestimate the degree of service and sacrifice they make for us poor folk!!

Evan Bayh is gone. I rate the IN seat as a safe GOP pickup!

I kind of wonder if they aren’t quitting because they see Obama going off the rails and don’t want to get caught in the middle of it when he’s carried out of office.

I heard on Fox, who mentioned it had to do with the "extreme partisanship" that he wanted no part of. I don't know which side of the aisle he meant, but have an idea. I reckon he's mad that the dems didn't get their way.

You know, Frantzie, the "old Dems" are quitting in preparation of wrestling the party back from the far-left loons. They can't do it with the Communist-in-Chief and his thugs at the helm. The terrible retaliation against the anti-0b0z0 Dems would be prohibitive. They need the electorate's help in '10 to throw the Dems out and therefore, get their party back by saying: see, the American people will not accept the far-left.

One huge quitter to look for, the de facto leader of the old Dems, Hillary.

If Hillary quits sometime around the '10 election, she will run against 0b0z0 to save "country and party."

One more thing, I don't think 0kaka will dare run for reelection! If one accented, naturalized American (ineligible for POTUS, of course) demands to run for POTUS in '12 and will not be allowed, all candidates have to prove their eligibilities to the Secretaries of States in order to be on the ballots, right?

The Republicans can run an ineligible, but they won't because they don't have the stones.

Then, who has the stones and most likely, the goods on 0kaka? Hillary!

Is he actually quitting? I thought he just wasn’t running again.
