Democratic Sen. Bayh Will Not Seek Re-Election This Year

Fox News: Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh will not seek re-election this November, an unexpected decision that hands Republicans an opportunity for a pick-up in a year when Democrats are already defending several open Senate seats. The two-term senator is known as a moderate Democrat. Former GOP Sen. Dan Coats had been planning to challenge Bayh in November -- but a senior Democratic source told Fox News that recent polling showed Bayh way ahead of Coats, and that the retirement must have been a personal decision.

Senator Bayh is hostile to our Constitution and is therefore unfit to hold office. His leaving is good news for our Republic.

Rats leaving a sinking ship! I suspect that there will be trials for “high crimes and misdemeanors” following the 2010 or 2012 elections. Alot of these politicians are hoping to get out before this happens.

Looks like it will be up to the conservatives to solve the problems the liberal progressives set in motion in the 30’s. May we act with courage and wisdom!

America…these cockroaches are fleeing our house before the extermination begins in November!

They are finally realizing that they have not only dammed our children to a debt to a COMMUNIST country, they have dammed their own children to the same debt!

They finally realize that what they have done in the last year…will take the next administration eight (8) years at the least to correct!

Now instead of standing up and taking responsibility and staying in Washington and FIX this mess they created, they are running like the cockroaches they are!

But I have news for you guys…all of you cockroaches…you think you are going home to “retire on our dime”…when all taxpayers are out of work and no taxes are coming in…there will be no retirement money going out!

You will be like any other American…you will be scrambling to feed those children you put into debt anyway you can…but the one difference will be that we the “real” Americans who tried to stop you…know who you are!

Getting ready to run for President in 2012. He is way ahead of the game doing this.

Evan Bayh   February 15th, 2010 - 1:04 pm

I dropped out of running again because there’s a difference between liberal
Democrats and Progressive Democrats. Progressives have taken over in Washington
DC and I need to get out of that town due to the political stink they emit, and
is not enjoyed by the vast majority of the nation. Is it too late to switch
to Republican? :)

Gandhi's Fist   February 15th, 2010 - 1:18 pm

Bayh knows that the writing is on the wall. It would have been a referendum on the Marxist Obama and is socialist policies. People have begun to cut through the fog of the vast, left-wing news media.

There is more here than meets the eye too. Scandal? Hard to say considering how the left news media runs interference.

Bayh’s decision isn’t a very good present for Master on Presidents Day:

Joe R.   February 15th, 2010 - 1:36 pm

The following is an excerpt out of a reply from Evan Bayh’s office. I am a Hoosier that did not want this Health care debacle. I wrote to him stating how I felt and that I did not want this. His office gave me the no answer, answer. He wanted to give us only 72 hours to read a 1900 plus page document. That is a novel a day! 600+ pages a day for 3 days!If you were lucky enough to be employed…8hours at work, 8 hours of sleep, You would have 8 hours to read 600 plus pages a day…impossible. You notice he also said that he wanted a transparent health care process. That of course never happened. Knowing that this was not enought time to read the bill, knowing that the process was not transparent, knowing that this bill would more than likely not be taken in it entirety but, would be cobbled together with the House version, He voted in favor of it anyway. I say good riddance ding dong the dumbass is gone! A great day in Indiana!!!!

As the Senate begins to debate health care reform, I will be reviewing the bill and looking for solutions that demonstrate a commitment to reducing the federal deficit, job protection, and affordability for Hoosier families. I will continue to do my best to achieve solvent, practical solutions that provide high-quality, affordable health care to as many Americans as possible, while maintaining sound fiscal policy.

Throughout this debate, I have called for a process that fosters openness and transparency for the American people. On October 6, 2009, I co-signed a letter to Senator Harry Reid, along with seven other moderate Democratic senators, that called for the legislative text of the Senate health care bill to be put on the internet for 72 hours before scheduling a vote on the bill. I believe it is important that people like you have a chance to evaluate these policies and communicate your thoughts before we vote on this legislation. You can access the Senate health bill at http://bayh.senate.gov/healthcare and access the entire text of the bill there. The bill was posted online and made viewable to the public at large on November 18, 2009 at 8:00 p.m.

Again, thank you for contacting me. I hope the information I have provided has been helpful. My website, http://bayh.senate.gov, can provide additional details about my work in the Senate, including legislation and state projects. You can also sign up for occasional email updates. I value your input and hope you will continue to keep me informed of the issues that matter to you.

Bye-bye Bayh. Evan Bayh, the Marxist guy, is gonna fly, Obama’s why.

Joe R.   February 15th, 2010 - 1:55 pm

Bayh also was not in a good position in Indiana…politically. He is a true liberal, he is not moderate at all. Bayh held no town hall meetings because he was a coward!! Neither did Ellsworth a Dem congressman from IN. Baron Hill Dem from Indiana held a teleconference town hall…Cowards one and all!

I do not believe that Obama truly won Indiana. On election night Mccain was winning the state but the Hammond, Gary, E. Chicago precincts had not reported in yet. Low and behold that area predominantly minority, and heavily involved in ACORN put Obama into the lead. All in all Hoosiers were ready to fight back and kick Bayh and the rest of the Libs right out of office that is why he is cutting bait and running…you see he wants to make a bid in 2012 or 2016 and it won’t look good getting the boot out of office. Hey Evan you can take that silver spoon out of your mouth and stick it straight up your ass!

JoeKidd   February 15th, 2010 - 2:00 pm

This morning on Fox News America’s Newsroom, Chris Stirewalt of the Washington Examiner made some excellent points about Bayh’s decision, even saying that this could signal an “epochal shift’ in politics.

I agree with Mr. Stirewalt, but unfortunately for Americans, their President is tone deaf!

Obama seems Hell-bent on implementing his agenda, especially if subterfuge is involved.

Englishcocker   February 15th, 2010 - 2:51 pm

I am sorry that a moderate was forced out of congress. His voice was missed during this pass year. I was a Dem for many years, but was also forced out because of the extremes of the present Party. extremes are not good for America.

I wish this to be a major wakeup call to the adgenda Barry has created. The vast majority of Americans are Centrist. A jerk to the left has left us separated from both parties. The Republican had to jerk to the right just to have some balance.

I hope with this next election balance can be restored because it does not seen the executive branch will not listen to the majority of Americans.

Senator Bayh I salute you, your familly and your decision. I look forward to your next challenge and hope it is for all Americans not just your state.

FastFacts   February 15th, 2010 - 2:55 pm

He is the 11th Senator to retire this next election season. All those retiring are having problems with the polls and losing against Republicans. I say good-riddance to all those incumbents that are being questioned in the polls.

Gorio   February 15th, 2010 - 4:28 pm

Evan Bayh’s decision not to seek re-election in November is not so much a failure on his part to make change, but his obvious distaste for the Liberal status quo of Harry Ried and Nacy Piglosi and thier minions. He sees the American people have had enough of them and the MSM misrepresenting the true spectrum of the political machine in this country. There is a strom brewing, certainly. But, there is also a rush to the life boats to avoid this storm. Many of the Senate chamber’s senior politicians are choosing to retire rather than run or succomb to defeat. This is of course a referendum against the Obama administration and the absolute race to Socialism they are trying their damndest to direct. Given that this is February and November is still a far off date with destiny, I am concerned what this means with regard to Che Maobama’s executive order series next facing the Union. Will he try and defer to an oligarchy by ramming through his policies versus allowing the parliamentarian route because of known failure? If so, these sage pols may not wish to be embroiled in revolution that will be certain if his plans are such.

Gorio   February 15th, 2010 - 4:31 pm

They fear the next move by Maobama. The executive order, you know, “stroke of the pen, law of the land, kinda cool!” These will be misrepresented by the MSM and there may well be justifiable cause for revolt and or revolution. These seior senators are distancing because of this I am certain.

comcass   February 15th, 2010 - 6:41 pm

Word from those in the know is that Bayh is preparing to challenge for the 2012 Democratic presidential nomination.
All the stupid comments here are like Nero fiddling while Rome burned.
Conservatives need to get serious about a 2012 canidate, instead of that fool from the frozen north. How about Senator Inhoff from Oklahoma, his age may be a distraction, or maybe Senator Sessions of Alabama, his racial views may discourage some people, or the best bet is Senator John Cornyn of Texas.

all that is hidden shall come to ligh   February 15th, 2010 - 9:07 pm

this is what happens in the long run.
Bahy knew obama was not qualified yet he showed up smiling and telling lies for
obama. now he’s simply receiving his portion.

obama has been a career-ender for many.
i am not patting myself on the back but i said before obama was elected that if
he was made president he would be a career-ender for many and it has come to pass.

you can only smile, lie and pretend for so long.
and if Bayh must be a real good example for his children this is what he needed to
do.

of course its Bush’s fault and i just know Palin had something to do with it.

Bayh's out for good   February 15th, 2010 - 9:12 pm

“Word from those in the know is that Bayh is preparing to challenge for the 2012 Democratic presidential nomination.
“————————————————-

the only hope of his success would be a complete change in party.
too much on video about Bayh’s support for obama. he is damaged goods with regard
to a presidential run.

on President's Day? me thinks there's a message there   February 15th, 2010 - 9:14 pm

is Bayh secretly telling us obama is an imposter as a President?
think about it:::::: this resignation announcement on PRESIDENT’S DAY? hmmmmmm?

keep yr eye on the small things   February 15th, 2010 - 9:17 pm

this prevents Bayh from answering any questions about obama’s eligibility which Bayh
might have become privy to. this is very strange indeed. something more is up with this.

now Reid, Boxer   February 15th, 2010 - 9:18 pm

will Reid take the hint?

:-)   February 15th, 2010 - 9:19 pm

the next person obama attempts to campaign for will be a no-show at their own events.

obama served his purpose - never elect mysterious unqualified people   February 15th, 2010 - 9:31 pm

we forewarned support for obama at their own peril.
2010, 2012 will be our time to respond and 2010 is shining and
2012 is looking better by the day.

YIKES!   February 15th, 2010 - 9:32 pm

how do you even consider electing someone who refuses to release any records about
themself? is that wild or what? no wonder they got labeled KoolAid drinkers.
one would have to be drugged to be so stupid. where are the promised medical records?
another mystery.
