"Obama would have been better off picking Bayh instead of Biden—Biden would have kept the Delaware seat in Democrat hands, and Bayh wouldn’t be constantly saying stupid things like Biden does"

I wonder what the law is in Indiana. Is there a special election, or is the replacement Senator picked by the Governor? Obama knew what the law was in DE - replaced by Democrat governor. But, if the law is different in IN, he may not have wanted to cede the pick to IN's GOP Governor, Mich Daniels.

He is going to finish his term out.
