Going Bayh-Bayh

Evan Bayh decides to retire from the Senate one day before the deadline for Democratic candidates to submit signatures to qualify to run. What is up with that?! Daniel Coats, former Senator, has already announced on the Republican side. There is a movement to draft John Cougar Mellencamp, but he'd have to want to, and he'd have to get the signatures by tomorrow.

A long shot is a provision that allows party leaders to select a candidate if there is a vacancy, but Bayh would have to file and then drop out.
