once on MSNBC on more than one program. They're not in mourning over this situation, but do point out that his resignation was poorly timed in that it precludes a primary run off (date for filing Tuesday, Feb 16 at noon, and requiring a petition with 4500 signatures). They also point out that Bayh has been a disappointment when compared with the Senatorial career of his father Birch Bayh, a pillar of the Democratic Party for many years. This brings the number of Democratic Senators retiring up to 3, as contrasted with 5 retiring Republicans.
2010 promises to be an anti-incumbent cat fight.

In a shocking development, Senator Evan Bayh just announced he would not seek re-election this fall.
His decision, which comes as yet another boost to the GOP?s no longer implausible quest for a Senate majority, upends the midterm landscape since no one was even discussing Indiana?s Senate race as a potentially competitive contest until early January. Yet, Indiana now becomes one of the cycle?s most competitive states, raising the total number of highly vulnerable Democratic seats to eight - just two sort of what Republicans need to pick-up to regain control of the chamber.
