Hello, Good-Bayh

This past week Senator Evan Bayh announced that he would not be seeking a third term in the Senate. In his announcement, Bayh noted that the Senate was just not the place for him anymore and he was tired of all the partisanship. I think he will get a collective "Amen" from the general public on that one. I think what should be noted is what this may mean for Indiana. While they are losing a strong Senator, they may be gaining a Governor. Oh God please. Bayh also said that he enjoyed the executive side of politics better. Hmmm. Prelude to a campaign perhaps? While the nation is definitely is poor shape, have you seen Indiana lately? My word. Mitch has taken the wheel and driven us right into the ground.

I could go on and on about Mitch, but I will not. What's done is done and what will happen probably won't be stopped until he's gone. While I am most likely leaving this great state soon, i will still hope for it to be strong and prosper under good leadership. Bayh once proved he could be a great Governor and I hope he wants to prove it again. I look for Bennet and Bayh to be squaring off against for the Governor's seat when that time comes. Please don't make the same mistake a third time. Instead make the better choice a third time. So for now Mr. Bayh, goodbye.
