By resigning Evan Bayh has sent waves through the establishment. His resignation is a blow to the Left’s agenda. All things being equal this is a GOP pick up. However, this is deeper than a Senate Seat. It is an example of the Progressive Democratic agenda collapsing once again. They have tried this before, moving the nation to the Left. Each time they have been rejected.
The political retirement of Evan Bayh, at age 54, is being portrayed by various sages as a result of too much partisanship, or the Senate’s dysfunction, or even the systemic breakdown of American governance. Most of this is rationalization. The real story, of which Mr. Bayh’s frustration is merely the latest sign, is the failure once again of liberal governance.
For the fourth time since the 1960s, American voters in 2008 gave Democrats overwhelming control of both Congress and the White House. Republicans haven’t had such large majorities since the 1920s. Yet once again, Democratic leaders have tried to govern the country from the left, only to find that their policies have hit a wall of practical and popular resistance.

Keep in mind, a year ago the Progressives claimed they had a permanent majority. They thought America could be remolded in the Tranzi-Socialist image. Instead, thanks to Beck, the Tea Parties and others, a resistance to this fascist agenda was formed. Now states that went to Obama in 2008 are reverting back to Republicans.
Progressives don’t know what to do. In their desperation they will be dangerous. In fact, the Left has Bill Clinton and James Carville plotting to smear and blackmail the Tea Party members. It’s going to get ugly, but our side will prevail!
