Michael Tomasky: Talking smack on Evan Bayh It occurred to me over the course of the evening that my post on Evan Bayh yesterday was entirely too neutral, and that I should talk a little smack on him.What he did yesterday was selfish and immature. Not even telling Harry Reid. Nuts. And when a senator does something like this, there are all kinds of knock-on ramifications that are only made worse by doing it suddenly and without coordinating the move with others (like for starters your state party, which got a gracious one day's notice).For example. As I mentioned yesterday, a House member named Brad Ellsworth is touted as a likely candidate. Also popping up is the name of another House member from the state, Baron Hill. Both of these men could win the Bayh seat and hold it for the Democrats, but at the same time, both represent reddish House districts in the southern part of the state. So Bayh's retirement likely loses his party a House seat. Or two. And here's a thought. Will Ellsworth or Hill, seeking higher office in a moderate-to-conservative state in this political climate, be called upon to disavow their votes for healthcare reform?All this can't necessarily be laid directly at Bayh's feet. But pulling a move like this out of nowhere suggests that he didn't think he had a responsibility to his national or state party to think these matters through with them. Well, he did.Maybe all this is part of why Bayh was such an underachiever in the Senate. It doesn't bother me that he was a moderate. The party needs moderates. But even on his own terms as a moderate, he didn't lead on anything that I'm aware of. He talked a lot about the deficit, but I'm unaware of any genuine policy impact he might have had.Last year he formed a moderate coalition of some sort in the Senate that he led. It seems to have done nothing. それは私には、夜のコースでは、エヴァンバイ私のポスト昨日完全にも中立的となり、私は彼が昨日行ったhim.What少し気味で話をする必要があります利己的なのが未熟であるが発生しました
