You heard it here first.

Evan Bayh won't be allowed to reclaim seniority and leapfrog a champion of progressive causes on the Senate Banking Committee should Bayh win the Indiana Senate race. Financial services insiders in an American Banker report broached the possibility that Bayh, who is viewed more favorably by the industry, could cut in front of Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, and be in line to take the committee's chairmanship if Democrats retake control of the Senate. A senior Democratic aide effectively ended that speculation Tuesday afternoon. "There's no doubt Senator Brown will have the top slot on the banking committee next year," the aide told Roll Call. [...] The truth is that precedent is squarely on the side of incumbents like Brown being favored over potential returning former senators. Neither Frank R. Lautenberg of New Jersey, Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota or Alben Barkley of Kentucky was able to reclaim seniority for past years served when they returned to the chamber. And unlike Bayh, both Barkley and Humphrey had originally left the Senate to become vice president. Sorry. ;-) Cheers, Scott.

You know, the usual way a Senator goes to cash in on all the good work he did for his masters while (cough, cough, wheez, gag) representing the people. So now it looks like maybe a somewhat Progressive might be the new Senate Banking Chairman. I don't think it's too much of a stretch for the Bankster owners to go to their tool Bayh and say, "Hey, why don't you run for Senate again? Here's some money. Nobody in Indiana can beat you because of your daddy and because it's an incredibly weak field. If we get lucky, you'll either knock off the Progressive and be Chairman yourself or have at least some influence on the banking committee. We need one of our own on that committee." The cover Bayh came up with to leave the Senate so he could cash in with his Bankster buddies, that "gridlock" was the reason, is laughable now. He's going back because it's gotten better? Give me a break. His candidacy is nothing more than the Bankster Community getting one of their reliable stooges back in the Senate. And, regrettably, most Hoosiers will allow them to do exactly that.
