1. He Was Upset by Attacks on Wellpoint Wife

As Chris Cillizza pointed out two months ago, Bayh's future in the Democratic Party was over long before this announcement (perhaps not coincidentally, Cillizza was also the first to report Bayh's decision). But more than Bayh's dimming political prospects, my guess is that what got to Bayh was the distinctly personal tone attacks on him had taken -- particularly those on his wife, Susan, who serves on the board of WellPoint, one of the nation's largest health insurers.

2. Is not his wife a lobbyist.

For the medical insurance business, I think.. Lots of conservative Democrats, such as Sam Nunn go to work for Carlyle . Someone that seems Bayh's cup of tea.. The financial returns are faster...
