You can add Evan Bayh’s name to the list of Democrats who’ve decided it’s better just to walk away, rather than seek re-election.

The Indiana Senator blamed “narrow ideology” for silencing the voices of independents and moderate Dems.  As a result, he feels there’s just no reason to continue working in Congress.  In other words, the radical leftist agenda of Obama and his base is squeezing out any Democrat who might disagree with the President.  Nothing new there.

No one knows who will replace Bayh after his unexpected departure, but there’s a scramble in Indiana to find a suitably far left Democrat candidate.  Y’know, one who can parade around the state lying about how moderate he is.

Bayh is the fourth Democrat Senator to leave the party’s sinking ship since November.

In the immortal words of John McLaughlin “Bye Bye.”
