Bayh might have been sly as a fox by waiting to the last minute to announce he’s leaving the Senate.
Former Senator Dan Coats said he was re-entering politics because he is increasingly alarmed and frustrated about the direction of the country.
Republican Mike Pence said he’ll instead run for re-election to the Congressional seat representing much of eastern Indiana
that he first won in 2000.
Evan Bayh is no Martha Coakley. But on the outside chance Bayh could be beat in this year’s senate race, an opponent might

The Senate voted along party lines Thursday to raise the ceiling on the government debt to $12.4 trillion, a massive increase
over the current limit. Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh was the only Democrat to oppose the move.
Fiscal responsibility could be the mettle Sen. Evan Bayh needs to land in a higher office.
Corporate boards need more women, but not people such as Susan Bayh, wife of Sen. Evan Bayh. It’s not
that she isn’t up to the task. The former attorney at Eli Lilly and Co. and visiting professor at Butler University
is by all accounts capable. So we’re not surprised she regularly receives invitations to serve on boards. But
we are surprised she accepts.
