Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN) decided today that he will not seek reelection this year, paving the way for a republican takeover of this seat the Democrats thought they would still retain.
Clearly, this is a huge deal as the Democrat Congress struggles to keep their control of both houses in a year when the voters are showing their total disgust for the body.
Bayh's departure sends another signal to the political orbit, one that should worry President Barack Hussein Obama.
Will the moderate Bayh, with his $13M campaign treasure and history, challenge the incumbent president in 2012 who is increasingly seen as a weak leader?
The Indiana senator was on Obama's list for vice president despite having endorsed Hillary Clinton's presidential candidacy, was the youngest governor elected to his state in 1989 at the age of 33, and has never lost an election.
