In his New York Times OpEd entitled "Why I'm leaving the Senate", Senator Evan Bayh certainly gave us the Full Monty about what he dislikes about the institution, but precious little about why he's leaving - unless he thinks its not worth saving.
But it didn't sound that way to me. It sounded a lot like he thought that the problems ought to be solved. In fact, he listed several changes which would improve things and all of them lie within the authority of the august body he is leaving. Apparently these things are worth doing, but not worth his effort. That's an awfully tricky position to take.
