Source: Indiana’s Evan Bayh to retire from Senate

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Evan Bayh, a centrist Democrat from Indiana, is ready to announce he won’t seek a third term in Congress, giving Republicans a chance to pick up a Senate seat. “To put it in the words most Hoosiers can understand: I love working for the people of Indiana, I love helping our citizens make the most of their lives, but I do not love Congress,” Bayh said in comments prepared for an announcement later today in Indianapolis. His statement was obtained by The Associated Press from a Democratic official who declined to be named publicly.
