I see that and the question begs, why?

In prepared remarks, Bayh, 54, cited excessive partisanship that makes progress on public policy difficult to achieve as the motivation for his decision.

That's why I don't get the timing of his resignation. Could he run as an independent? The Indiana deadline of Feb. 16 is for a "major party candidate for US Senate". Could he or somone else come in as a third party at any time? That doesn't make much sense, either. Just trying to figure out why he would hand this to the Repub's.
