"BTW, there is one person who could beat Bayh, or at least give him a tough run, and we all know who that is... "

If Vice President Quayle ran against Bayh, that would certainly make it a barnburner. The best thing about Quayle beating Bayh, of course, would be that it would pretty much finish Bayh's career in national politics, and he'd be a dangerous RAT presidential or VP candidate in 2008.

Not enough time for Quayle to move back and get himself reacquainted with his state (what on Earth is he doing these days, anyhow ?). I can tell you this from a liberal Democrat activist and former officeholder acquaintance of mine that Bayh will NEVER get their party nod for either President or VP. He's considered too Conservative (especially on abortion), and so it matters not a whit whether he wins or loses his upcoming reelection, his career in national politics is as far as it goes now (save perhaps a non-controversial Cabinet position, say, Transportation). Just goes to show you how truly far-left the grassroots of the 'Rats has moved. When they start losing election after election, they may wise up, and then that's when we need to worry.
