Bayh's Influence In Iowa

Indiana Senator Evan Bayh's PAC paid 25 staffers to help in Iowa state legislature races. The GOP credits those staffers with helping the Dems victory. No word yet on how much Bayh's staffers helped in New Hampshire.

The Indiana Senator also released the following statement, “Tonight, the American people sent a strong message to Washington that they are sick of the partisanship, the ideological extremism, and the corruption that has impeded our path to national greatness. The results give us hope for a better direction for the country and a better future for the Democratic Party."

Here's a summary of the Camp Bayh'ers... Their effect on NH's races were harder to gauge because they weren't directly associated with campaigns... Nationwide, the Camp Bayh'ers associated with campaigns had a 72% winning percentage.
