ThinkProgress glosses a Roll Call story today telling us that Evan Bayh is spearheading a group of 15-20 Democratic senators “seeking to restrain the influence of party liberals in the White House and on Capitol Hill.” And it’s about time, isn’t it? We’ve now gone nearly a full two months without Democrats forming a circular firing squad designed to bring down a Democratic president and prove that Democrats can’t actually get anything done.
