OK here are the scenarios for reasons why Evan Bayh is retiring:
1. getting out to save the ego bruise of losing in November.
2. Cashing in as the next head of PHarma or some other lobby group.
3. The wife finally got tired of his philandering and she’s leaving him.
4. He’s gearing up to run in 2012 against Obama from the right.
5. Sort of like #3 but with a dead girl.
6. He’s been bought off and in exchange for being a lap dog for the next 8 months
BTW, I think it is probably #1
you left out “cashing in while still a Senator as opposed to being an defeated has been”......either to run for president or get big bucks.
This: “Basil.”
This: “Basil’s wife.”
This: “slap on head.”
“I do love a woman with spirit.”
I wish they would re-run that series.
I am loving the bye bye bayh threads.....apparently he has withdrawn too close to the filing deadline for another dem to step up? how can that be? he screwed them royally if true.
Yes filing deadline to get on the primary ballot in Indiana is tomorrow. (In Ohio it is Thursday) The party can pick a nominee in caucus in the event that there is no one selected by primary.
so the successor will be the party pick? makes sense. still, it WILL tick off a lot of their own party for it to be a pick like that.
Yes. Unless some fringer was mounting a primary against Bayh already and got on the ballot the traditional way.
one can only hope there is a fringer out there about to score. LOL
O’Reilly: Now, Mr Fawlty. If the Good Lord wanted us to worry, he’d give us something to worry about.
Basil: He HAS! My wife!! She’ll be here in 4 hours; and she can kill a man at 10 paces with one blow of her tongue.
O’ Reilly: Now Mr Fawlty, if the Good Lord-
Basil: Is mentioned once more I shall move you closer to him!
Also, they could never get away with making that episode today because of the Irish stereotypes.
I don’t know how shy the Brits are even today about making fun of the Irish.
oh, yeah......its for the US Senate.......remains to be seen if she got all of her signatures, but she was collecting them.......AND running on supporting the healthcare bill......a real doozy she is, talking about fringe.
The sun is shining as I come back from the woods-true, it is only 50, but at least it isn’t gloomy-
I don’t have to be a sibyl
To know why Evan went Bayh-
Rather than a nasty defeat
He decided just not to try
So when Obama the clueless
Goes the way of Jimmy Carter
Bayh can disavow his pork deals
And claim he didn’t barter
He’s trying to avoid the bus
Where there’s a place for him
Reserved right there underneath-
Quitting is far less grim
Oops-at first glance, I thought you said “party prick”, and thought how appropriate that was...
Who the Dems. They are the "prick party"
