If Bayh cant win reelection in Indiana, its hard 2 imagine how Obama himself can win it again in 2012?
If a conservative Democrat like Evan Bayh fears he can’t win reelection in the state, it’s hard to imagine how Obama himself can win it again, absent a major shift in economic conditions.
For a party bracing for big losses in Congress, any retirement of a popular sitting senator is a blow. But this one represents something more: the death, once again, of the Democratic Party’s Indiana dream. After his primary victory, RFK remarked that, “The people here were fair to me. They gave me a chance. They listened to me. I could see this face, way in back in the crowd, and he was listening, really listening to me.” For Barack Obama, they don’t seem to be listening anymore.

Obama is a Oner. His only chance of becoming a Twoer is if he attacks Iran.
he can’t the democrat death spiral is in the terminal phase!!!
Yes, he retired, but he was way ahead in the polls. And the Republicans saw little chance of gaining the seat, until he dropped out. So what evidence do you have that he couldn’t win re-election?
Bayh may be running against the messiah in the 2012 primaries.
Bayh is very popular in my state and he would have won easily…….can’t say the same for Obama
Hell would have to freeze over before Obama could win Indiana in 2012 at this point.
He is retiring because he is tired of the silliness that is going on in Congress. 6 Democrats and 7 Republicans have announced that they are retiring.
