Heard anything interesting lately?
Here in Indiana, Senator Evan Bayh's shocking retirement today hit us like a bomb. This is a guy with an 85% approval rating (according to a Research 2000 poll released last week). Plans were well underway to shoot a commercial in South Bend this week. Local and state Democratic officials were preparing for the upcoming campaign. Now this.
Everyone is still trying to come to grips with the implications of this announcement. Here are a few good stories which look at the long and short term angles:
