Wow

No link yet, but Indiana Democrat Evan Bayh won’t seek reelection.

You know, Bayh was my Nightmare Veep Pick back in 2004 — and I still think he might have put Kerry over the top that year.

UPDATE: Here’s the link, but there’s not a lot of meat to the report. Want some pure speculation? Bayh was facing a tougher-than-expected reelection bid (that part is true), and might be positioning himself for a primary challenge against President Obama in 2012 (that’s the speculation).

ANOTHER UPDATE: McGehee comments, “GOP be warned: I’d rather have Evan Bayh in the White House than Mike Huckabee.”

Amen to that.
