How could a Super Majority = Monumental Failure? Only a Democrat could pull that one off. Worst U.S. Congress in history? You bet.

They are running down the anchor ropes of their ship in greater and greater numbers.
And I think he would have won! There's problems in the new salvation zone.
patrick kennedy's a rep, not a senator, and i think they all want to get out of dodge and/or do the k street shuffle.
just saw his news conf i didn't realize he was so young !!!! but he made clear he's had it with his party serving itself instead of us.

He made no such thing "clear." What he made clear was that he's fed up with the stupid gridlock. Now who's currently to blame for that? He's pissed off at the whole process, and, as he CLEARLY stated, Congress being run by ideological [bullshit] instead of attempting to solve problems.
Bayh has said he loves being a chief executive, loves serving the people of Indiana, but does not love congress; and that there's a better way to serve. I think he is getting out so as not be stained by Obama and the very likely upcoming loss of his seat to Dan Coats. This will allow him to run for president without a loss, and as a new and a principled man. I've sent him lots of letters (the real thing, not emails) since the Ds took congress, especially since January 09, and I think he's received a lot just like mine, telling him he can't win re-election by going along with the current leadership. I'm sorry that there couldn't have been a Coats/Bayh contest. Coats held the seat before Bayh, and it was theorized at the time that he didn't stand for reelection because he believed he couldnt beat Bayh back in 1998. If Coats could've beaten Bayh in 10, I had hopes for him against Obama in 2012.Bayh was actually a somewhat Conservative Democrat who was stabbed in the back too many times by the partisan nutters in his own party. Harry Reid shooting down the recent Bi-Partisan Jobs Bill was the last straw for the man. I consider myself an Independent so i can say that Bayh was actually a pretty good Congressman. He will likely be missed.
Bayh did become more of a supporter for small business, turning around a pro-small business rating from 80% against to 80% pro during his tenure.
( not that it matters; Bayh has a really beautiful wife)
"But I do not love Congress."
Just his unwillingness to inform Reid of his intentions clearly sends a message to the dem's.just saw his news conf i didn't realize he was so young !!!! but he made clear he's had it with his party serving itself instead of us.

he made it crystal clear the craps are the reason he's leaving

I too think his goal is a run for the presidency, and retiring will allow him plenty of time to gather the behind-the-scene forces necessary to begin a campaign. But I don't think going against Obama is the reason. I've said before (started a whole thread about it) that I think it's more than a possibility that Obama won't run for a second term. He has made subtle references to that several times, the last time being during his recent interview with Diane Sawyer. Obama may want to go out the way LBJ did. There are a similar set of circumstances, to be sure.

Face it folks... the Dems are in HUGE trouble....
Some of us recognize meltdowns by the numbers. Others react by making polls picking who the opposition should vote for or another thread about evil Cheney or Palin.
It must suck to be those that were high on Obama and AGW last fall.
