Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) Will Not Seek Reelection
----------------------------------------------



In political news, Democratic Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana has announced
he will not seek reelection this year. Bayh’s decision hands Republicans
another opportunity to win a seat. There has been some speculation that
he may run for president in 2016. Bayh is the third Democratic senator
to announce he is retiring. Senator Christopher Dodd of Connecticut and
Senator Byron Dorgan of North Dakota previously said they would not seek
reelection.
