Evan Bayh moves closer to the point where he'll announce a presidential run. He was re-elected as to his Indiana senate seat last year, and he's been moving to the left ever since.
From the Indianapolis Star, an excerpt:
Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh is stepping down next month as chairman of the Democratic Leadership Council, which promotes centrist Democratic policies.Bayh, who has headed the group since 2001, will now have more time to devote to his exploration of a potential 2008 presidential bid.
Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack, who is also considering a run for the White House, will take over the leadership when the group holds its national meeting in Columbus, Ohio, on July 25.
The Democratic Leadership Council was founded in 1985 by Al From, a South Bend native concerned that his party was losing touch with the mainstream.
