WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele released the following statement today:

“Senator Bayh announced today he won’t seek reelection, claiming to be disenchanted with the political process.  After Democrats spent billions of taxpayer dollars on a failed stimulus and voted to spend billions more for their unpopular government-run health care plan, I think it’s fair to say that Americans are disenchanted as well.  The timing isn’t a coincidence either.  The fact of the matter is Senator Evan Bayh and moderate Democrats across the country are running for the hills because they sold out their constituents and don’t want to face them at the ballot box.  One year after the $862 billion stimulus was passed, Americans are making it clear that they are tired of the Democrats’ binge-spending agenda, are done being ignored, and are going to do something about it in November.”
