Bayh officially forms presidential exploratory committee
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Evan Bayh became the fifth politician to take formal steps towards a presidential run Tuesday, officially forming a presidential exploratory committee. But the Indiana Democrat said he would not decide on a formal run until after the holidays.

"As I have said previously, I will talk to my family over the holidays and make a final decision and an announcement after the first of the year," Bayh said.

Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kansas, and former New York GOP Mayor Rudy Giuliani have also formed presidential exploratory committees.

Iowa Democratic Gov. Tom Vilsack decided to bypass this initial step and officially declared his candidacy last week.
