Evan Bayh
Steve Dalton spots a Porter County politico’s hypothesis that Evan Bayh quit because he felt he was vulnerable in this year’s political climate of growing dissatisfaction with Washington, D.C. in a Washington Post article.
Writes the Post’s Peter Slevin in “Bayh’s departure worries Indiana Democrats:”
Bayh said in his departure speech that his reelection was not in doubt, yet Chuck Williams, the Republican Party chairman in nearby Porter County, said the senator was probably vulnerable because of growing dissatisfaction with Obama and the Democratic-led Congress, particularly over federal spending and the faltering economy.
