Wino Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I am all for Bayh leaving the Senate. After two terms all Senators should leave. Let's hear it for term limits. By ALAN FRAM, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON – Two-term Sen. Evan Bayh says ever-shriller partisanship and the frustrations of gridlock made it time for him to leave Congress. Republicans aren't buying it, saying he and fellow Democrats sense that voters will be after their heads this fall.The Indiana Democrat, a moderate who twice came close to being added to his party's national ticket, said Monday he will not seek re-election this November. The announcement gives Republicans a strong chance of capturing his seat and makes it likelier that the 59 votes that give Democrats command of the 100-seat Senate will dwindle.
