Today, U.S. Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN) announced he would NOT seek re-election in November.
He's a very savvy politician who probably KNEW if he ran for re-election and got "beat up" but still won, he'd be in a weak position.
And if he LOST this year (like EMK's seat in MA) he would be damaged goods.
But, it's not over...yet.
Bayh still has ONE LAST chance.
He MUST run for Governor of Indiana in 2012 (he already served two terms in that job years ago) and WIN.
Then he can run for President as a sitting Governor.
Bottom line: If he runs for Governor and LOSES, it's all over. And if DOES NOT run for Governor in 2012, he will soon be forgotten, as he will have no political base as an elected official.
DEM ISSUES URGES Bayh to run for Governor in 2012.
If he DOES, and he WINS, WE all will win.
And a Bayh Presidency can happen in 2016 or 2020.
