Bayh retires and the NEW Political NIGHTMARE for the Democratic Party

[kludge]

But hey, it's not "hijacking the process" for Bayh to wait for the last minute to announce he's pulling out so his cronies in the party can appoint another crony.

My thoughts exactly.

Then he has the nerve to send an e-mail out to everyone saying how he doesn't like being in congress anymore becuase he's tired of "partisan politics".

??????

He's either outright lying about something or being totally disingenuous and there's more to the story.

Really, CarmelHP, we should meet sometime... almost every time I read one of your posts, I feel like I'm talking to myself.

That's not the worst of it, though. The worst part about voting across party lines is that the Speaker and the committee chairmanships and committee majorities come from the majority party. Most of the work is done in these committees. By electing that nice Democrat who seems to agree with you, you are putting a Nancy Pelosi in the speaker role.
