You’re right!

Friend in St. Louis reminded me that Obama came back from Camp David early. I bet this is why, and it reinforces the idea that this is payback.

I don’t know if anyone could get signatures by tomorrow, unless they already have a sheaf of them on file. And Baron Hill would have to have people tromping through the 10 inches of snow southern Indiana is getting.

I can just see Hill, known as “the Red Baron” running statewide. He will go down like the first Red Baron, in flames.

I foresee a “centrist” coalition in the next few weeks. Mark may words, fellow Freepers. The reality here is that this is a splitting of the Democratic Party.

You Betcha!

I tend to agree with your puzzlement. Something is not quite right here. Obama stated he is going to issue EO’s to circumvent congress (posted yesterday).

And how much damage will still be done before they do retire and what have they've been promised in exchange for a lockstep with the Marxist.

Suspicious......most definitely. And I believe those suspicions are justified considering what we've witnessed since prior to 11/4/2008.

And guess who will swoop in and claim the centrist Dem coalition????

Why?

1. He was a Hillary supporter and would have been her VP candidate. Obama stole Indiana in the primaries with thugs and ruthless tactics.

2. Obama put him very publicly on the short list for VP, then jerked him around (and no doubt got dirt on him through vetting) and then chose Biden. How humiliating.

3. Bayh is not an extreme leftist, and working with such has to have contributed to this, but I think it’s a very personal shafting of Obama and Reid.

Out of state funding came from unions?

See Girlene’s post above regarding the Indiana deadline of Feb. 16 is for a “major party candidate for US Senate”?

Not unlike him to pull a Lieberman, and then caucus with the democrats, but that would stink, given today’s announcement.

I tend to believe that these people are frightened and want to be out of sight when the People come. They know that those who do not belong to our Anglo American society have elevated into positions of power and authority. These people now in office are botched and bungle by their very ineptitude.

How can he run against candiate Obama with his votes on Porkulus, Cap and Tax and Obamacare?

Brutus true. You too Brutus is what the Bamster can say when he wants to run against him. And if he screwed up the chances of a another Dem’s seate run, can’t Bayh expect fallout there also?

I agree. This is the only thing, other than just wanting personally stick it to Obama, that makes any sense.

Baron is “too Da..n lazy” to work that hard.

According to one of his neighbors, He won’t even mow the postage stamp lawn. ANd he’s been heard screaming @#$%^& at the folks in the church parking lot next door.

I’m sure it’s not the last we’ll hear from him. He’ll be back to run for Pres.

Well, I suppose we could worry about a coming fiscal collapse or a terrorist invasion.

I do think, however, that with Bayh you are seeing someone who has had enough of Obama and decided to do what he could.

Bayh isn’t a bad guy, just a weak one and in the wrong party. A centrist coalition might be something he decides to lead.

Very interesting times we live in.

According to The Fix blog, Evan Bayh to retire

........"Because petitions are due tomorrow, no Democrat will formally file -- leaving the seat vacant and allowing the state party apparatus to choose the candidate.".............

Don't know if this is the way it works or not.

Bayh would have connection to the “Region” which is run out of Chicago....Maybe he does know something on Obama..and since Obama would threaten him with his seat, he is removing the ammo before he releases the dirt....

OTOH Todd Ricotta has done a lot to make voter fraud and other shenanigans difficult in the “rat” districts...New laws and all.

Regardless...there will be all out war between rats...and I'm buying more stock in popcorn.
