Now that Spector is a Democrat, there's going to be a lot of pressure on Evan Bayh. As a "moderate" Democrat, he is going to be what Spector and Snowe were for Republicans: swing votes that can be swayed by lobbying.
This could be a good thing for Bayh. All of a sudden, he matters a lot more than he used to. On the other hand, he will no longer fly under the radar, and with conservatives outnumbering liberals in the Indiana electorate 3 to 2, liberal lobbying does him no favors back home.
It's funny that Spector says that the stimulus vote is what lost him the Republican primary electorate. Bayh also voted against the stimulus. Is Bayh going to switch parties too?

I only wish we could get at the Senator that easily Buzz, I think he'll continue to move to the middle all year to build a case of moderation.
