Something rings wrong about Evan Bayh’s ostentatiously principled withdrawal from the Senate.
Maybe it’s the picture-perfect posing of his family at the press conference. Somehow you wonder if there’s a National Enquirer scoop lurking in the wings.
Maybe Bayh fears the same fate his father met exactly 30 years ago – losing a race for reelection.
How does a man whose life and family have all been about politics suddenly decide that the process is just too, too tough for a noble soul like himself?
If politics and Washington
If he’d been a Founding Father, he might have said: “I’m just disgusted with the way this King and colony thing isn’t working, so I’m quitting and going home to my family.”
