Bye Bye Bayh

Bye Bye Bayh

Due to circumstances beyond our control the odds were longer than I felt I could responsibly pursue...

Sorry about the headline. I'm a bit surprised after his investment in an entire staff in Iowa this year, but glad for his sake that he preserves his dignity.

Evan Bayh is only 50. He can wait till 2016 or 2020. John Kerry can't and neither can the asterisk candidates (Biden and Dodd come to mind).

2008 is looking like a year of giants: Clinton, Edwards, perhaps (gulp) Gore... and of course Obama. Could Bayh have some knowledge about Obama's decision? Maybe not, but he was smart enough to see that he couldn't break through the noise, and that there's no gap for a DLC candidate with HRC and a stubborn Vilsack in the race.
