TPM:
Former Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) will announce a bid for Senate on Monday and replace the current Democratic nominee in the race, Baron Hill, CNN reported Monday morning, citing an unnamed source. .
… “While our campaign had been making great progress and building momentum all over Indiana, it is simply not enough to fight back against the slew of out-of-state, special interest and dark money that is certain to come our way between now and November,” Hill said in a statement… …
… Democrats have been heavily recruiting Bayh to run for the seat, in part because he had $10 million in a campaign account when he retired, according to CNN.
Seems to me like the better option would have been for Bayh to stay retired from the Senate and transfer his campaign fund to Hill - if that’s possible under current campaign finance rules.
