Despite Two DC Homes Worth Millions, Dem Sen Hopeful Evan Bayh Insists He Never Left Indiana
16th August 2016
Bayh loudly announced in 2010 he would not seek re-election after two terms because of supposed hyper-partisan gridlock due to the “distorting influence of money in politics.”
Almost immediately upon leaving office he reportedly proceeded to help rich folks do the alleged distorting. Within weeks of leaving the Senate, according to the Indianapolis Star, he joined a huge private equity company and quickly became partner at the Washington powerhouse law firm McGuire Woods. He has since amassed “lucrative corporate board appointments” earning “at least $3.7 million in cash, stock awards and other compensation.”

But after announcing his new Senate run last month, Bayh suddenly went native. When a local Indiana television reporter asked when he was coming home, Bayh insisted, “I never left.”Really?
Hey, if Hillary Clinton, raised in Chicago and living in Arkansas before trailing Bill to D.C., can be a Senator from New York, anything is possible.
