Barbara too?

Hot on the heels of the announcement that Evan Bayh is retiring from the Senate comes the latest "rumor" that Barbara McCulski of Maryland is also about to bid a fond farewell to the Senate. Since both senators were either likely (Bayh) or sure (McCulski) of reelection, the dual departure is a major blow to the Obamacrats. One has to assume that Indiana will now be in the leaning GOP column and Maryland could move towards a toss up as well.

If 2010 shapes up as a big sweep for the GOP, it will make it likely that the GOP will control the Senate for a while since the field ahead in 2012 and 2014 is much more favorable for the GOP than the current year's elections.
