A voice of reason
Re “Senate gridlock cited in latest exit,” Feb. 16
The country has lost a great voice for common-sense political discourse with the retirement of Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana.
His frustration with the gridlock in Washington is obvious -- specifically the influence of the far-left wing of the Democratic Party, which as a center-left Democrat myself deeply troubles me.
I have been a supporter of Bayh for years, and I always felt he spoke to the issues based on what was good for the country, not for the political empowerment of the Kool-Aid drinkers on both ends of the political spectrum. His voice of reason will be sorely missed.
