The Refreshing Honesty Of Evan BayhThank God for small favors!
Evan Bayh is a well-regarded, two-term Senator from Indiana but he is not exactly a household name. So when he announced two weeks ago that he was thinking about running for the Democratic presidential nomination, even he knew it was a long shot.
He acknowledged it was a David-versus-Goliath kind of thing, but he remembered that David did pretty well.
True enough, but yesterday Bayh realized why the smart money is usually on the giants — because they are giants — and he quit the race as quickly as he had entered.
"Whether there were too many Goliaths or whether I'm just not the right David, I concluded the odds were longer than I felt I could possibly pursue," he said.
In other words, he took a look, realized he had no chance and decided not to waste his time or the country's.
