In a little less than an hour Indiana’s Senator Evan Bayh will announce that he’s not running for another term as Senator, but according Fox News’ Carl Cameron he may not be bowing out of politics entirely. In his prepared remarks, he is expected to claim, “After all these years, my passion for service to my fellow citizens is undiminished, but my desire to do so in Congress has waned.”

It’s no big secret that the good senator has long looked in the mirror and seen a president. Could it be that he now is listening to the American people and sees that the extreme progressive (read socialist/communist) leadership now in control of the Democrat Party has opened the door for his more centrist, palatable brand of liberalism? And could it be that he’s taken a look at Sarah Palin’s ability to reach out to hundreds of thousands of supporters without the constraints of office and seen that “you don’t have to have a title to make a difference”?

Tune in at 2 p.m. Eastern and learn just how different 2012 may look from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Somehow I don’t think this is the change Obama was hoping for.

Oh. Well.
