No the deal was cut for VP with Hillary when he absconded as titular head of the DLC (DUm 'Leadership' Council) in favor of Madame Cankles. This was a deal cut by Billary in '07-'08. If people want to read anything into this, think Hillary. Evan Bayh is further into the Clinton's vest pocket than Al Gore ever was.

In return for Bayh pulling out, he was Hillary's VP. And we all know what happened there -- she got her just desserts when Bobo's cabal of Ernst Rahm, Axelrot, Dingy and $oros pulled the Super Tuesday whammy.

THERE IS NO LOVE LOST BETWEEN EVAN BAYH AND BOBO (to Evan's solitary credit). He'd sooner pilot the ISS back to Earth than be Bobo's VP. As would I.

Byah still wanted to be Obama’s VP.

This announcement, while good news politically, may mean that the RATS are deadly serious about reconciliation in the Senate. With all the retirements, they have nothing to lose. Dangerous.
