Bayh is Out

This kind of bites. He was the only centrist leaning Democrat that had publicly declared he was seriously exploring the idea. That leaves only whackos back in the mix.

Quote:
WASHINGTON — Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana will not seek the presidency in 2008, saying he believes the odds of a successful run were too great to overcome.

"At the end of the day, I concluded that due to circumstances beyond our control the odds were longer than I felt I could responsibly pursue," Bayh told the Indianapolis Star. "This path — and these long odds — would have required me to be essentially absent from the Senate for the next year instead of working to help the people of my state and the nation."
