Another Democrat senator is looking at the political landscape and coming to the conclusion that the Age 'o Obama is not working out all that well.
That Democrat senator is Evan Bayh (D-Ind.).
Sen. Bayh is one of the so-called moderate Democrats that are now becoming an endangered species in congress. Sen. Bayh represents Indiana, not exactly Blue state central. And Sen. Bayh has developed a reputation of moderation. I suppose next to Democrat senators like Richard Durbin of Illinois, Charles Chucky Schumer of New York or our own diva, Barbara "Ma'am" Boxer, Sen Bayh is downright moderate.
But, the reality is setting in to those like Sen. Bayh.
This is going to be a bloody political year for Democrats. And he does not want to go out as a loser.
Sure, polls have shown Sen. Bayh ahead in a race for reelection. But, as the political season continues, those numbers will shrink. And there is no doubt that Republicans would have put a lot of resources to taking this seat.
But, for Republicans, it still is not a sure bet. Nor should Republicans lay down and think this seat is a gimme.
The Republicans should also come to a reality that they could run the table and take the senate and House.
It appears that Sen. Evan Bayh sure has come to that reality.
