With Bayh elected, his Senate seat would've gone Republican, thus depriving Democrats from their 60 seats needed to pass health care bill. Without having his signature accomplishment, and with RL problems such as slow recovery remaining, Obama might've very well lose in 2012, making 2016 a wide-open race, thus denying Bayh semi-incumbent status of a sitting VP. Good economy and no Democratic fatigue would probably be enough to reelect President Romney.
Under this scenario, Hillary may not have ran at all, since it was easier for her to run for popular Obama's "third term".
