Evan Bayh

Attacks drawing attention to Bayh’s work for special interests helped erase his early advantage in the race.
He spent his last year in the Senate meeting with HR reps for big banks and lining up a private equity job.
“I want to be engaged in an honorable line of work,” he said before he left the Senate.
The GOP presidential ticket leads by 9 points, but Bayh could pick up a Senate seat for Democrats.
The former senator is hoping to return to Congress after a lucrative stint in the private sector.
