“I wonder what this is all about? Evan Bayh quit politics a few years ago, but now he wants back in? Hill quits to let Bayh run?”
Could be part of a long term plan. Get Bayh in the Senate so he can help take the Democrats more toward the center after Bernie and Hillary took the party so far to the Left. If Hillary loses this year, Bayh would be the number one contender for 2020. He’s the right age, has experience, can claim he re-entered politics to “save the country” (or some such bs), etc.
Hillary will be the last White Democrat to ever win the Democratic nomination. Hell, Joe Biden might be the last White Democrat VP.
Not gonna happen. Because Bayh cast a vote against an infanticide bill in a single instance, that disqualifies him forever as a Dem Presidential nominee.
