The One Man Gang:
Long-time EGP Sen. Evan Bayh announces today he will not seek re-election.

http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2010/02/breaking-indiana-senator-evan-bayh-to-retire/

Bayh has @ $13 million in his campaign fund. If I'm not mistaken, due to his being "grandfathered" into current Congress fund-raising regs, he gets to keep most of that.

Now, our resident moonbats will point out that currrently more SGP Congresscritters are "retiring" this cycle than EGP ones. However, most of the SGP types are run-of-the-mill Critters who will now fade from obscurity to oblivion. The EGP losses are VERY high-profile. Bayh's standing is such that he was under serious consideration for the VPOTUS spot by Barry Hoaxandchange in 2008. Barry must have felt that having a semi-competent VP would be a threat and so chose the clueless Joe Biden. Coming on the heels of Prince Kennedy the Lesser's announcement last week, this is marking a disturbing trend for the EGP.

The front-runner for the IN Senate seat in November is now former Senator Dan Coats. Coats served in the Senate for ten years, retiring in 1999. Initially considered for SecDef by Bush '43, he was instead named Ambassador to Germany and served from 2001 to 2005. Since '05 he has been a lobbyist for several foreign clients.

Flummoxed Lummox:
Drive-By D-FENS,

You do realize there are more Republicans who are retiring from the House and Senate than Democrats? Whether they are "high profile" or not is irrelevant when it comes to who will have more seats after November. The "high profile" attempt at spin is lame ... even for you.

For you to call anyone a "moonbat" is comical. They don't get any more devoid of reality than you. dumbass

This President is destroying more Democrat political careers than the Clintons, I don't think he could have defended his senate seat despite all the front runner talk. This Democrat rot can't even defend the "KENNEDY SENATE SEAT" in the peoples republic of Massachusetts. Obama is destroying the cleanly manicured 'moderate' prodigies political career. Not a good time to be flying the Democrat banner. The president is destroying his Party. I look for a Democrat primary challenge out of Democrat Bigh in 2012.

Can I call it, or can I call it?

Also, I forgot to mention Sen. Chris Dodd, (D-Countrywide) who is also bailing.

UPDATE!!! (Cue clattering teletype noises)

Now, rumors are swirling that Babs Mikulski (EGP-MD) is not going to run again either.

One of her complaints is that the health insurance that is provided for Congress is "poor" with high deductibles and "limitations" on coverage. My contact tells me that she told an aide that she should have inserted in the ObamaCare bill an amendment to improve Congressional health insurance!

Mrs. Mikulski was first elected to the Senate in 1986, and thus is a very senior member of the Democratic caucus. Despite this seniority, she has never been offered any important chairmanships or leadership positions. Born on July 20, 1936, she is 74 years old, come July...it is perhaps fitting that she has choose this year to retire.

Simply astounding. The guy has $13,000,000.00 in the bank, an alleged lead in the polls and he opts out because this administration is exposing him for the left winger he his. OMG, can you think of one radical piece of the Obama's legislative agenda the guy has not been in favor of the last 12 months?. Bayh = Pelosi = Harry Reid = Obama on all legislation to come down the pike the last 12 months. I did not realize the citizens of Indiana supported such a radical agenda. You can't play the middle of the road moderate game when you have been voting like a Socialist.
