Yes, I know "Would you prefer the Republican?!!" etc.
If my options are having a Republican or turning over control of the Democratic agenda in the Senate to Evan Bayh then I think it's a tough call.
What I definitely don't want his him given any position of power whatsoever. He bailed and now wants back in when it looks like the Democrats could retake the Senate. As long as he goes to the back of the line on seniority and power then fine let him back in.

Which will put him at the bottom with the other new Senators.
Someone should point out to him each day which office could had been his if he had not quit.
We definitely don't want Todd Young to be our Senator. He does come across in public as an asshole.
