It wasn't a political story so much as The Adoration of the Bayh Child with the three Magi all wrapped into one Politico national political correspondent by the name of Adam Wren, who's based in Indiana. His article on Friday was "Can a Democratic Dynasty Survive in This Red State?"
The subtitle even casts young Bayh in the role of potential political savior for the Democrats: "A race for statewide office in Indiana could chart the way forward for national Democrats."
This is a beatification of Bayh, a big bowl of fluff. It starts with a jog: "How else would a chiseled, 6’3 ex-Marine and ambitious Hoosier political scion celebrate but with some PT in the deep woods of southern Indiana?" And then we're told "as Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear — a fellow red-state Democrat with a family history in politics — recently said on his podcast, he cuts a figure like Captain America.”
The fluff could be tolerable if there were some political substance to the coverage of Beau Bayh, grandson of Senator Birch Bayh and son of another senator from Indiana, Evan Bayh. Instead what is recorded from him is pretty much the empty platitudes you would expect from someone running for high school student body president.
The reader is so besieged by hype-meister fluffery that it is hard to keep from bursting out laughing:

Will Go endorse him…?

The Bayh family is not a dynasty. They are a bunch of pretty boys who say they are conservative democrats but are right there voting for the most extreme liberal measures when their votes actually count. Old women in Indian need to remember he is a scammer in a pretty boys face.
The United States was created largely because of the massive problems with hereditary political leadership, yet morons of both parties seem to like trying it over and over.
I will never vote for an Indian invader for the rest of my life. They need to go home.
LOL! Bye Bayh.
Unfortunately there seems to be a deeply ingrained desire for a “noble class”. A psychologist would probably say its a longing to return to the “family setting”.
Not a good sign.
The Democrats may be looking for a major candidate someplace other than the coasts.
Most recent winners have come from elsewhere.
LBJ, Carter, Clinton, and Obama were not from the coasts.
Of course you can never call Biden a winner as the autopen prez was installed by coup.
As I recall Evan was less interesting than watching paint dry.
It’s the pretty boy thing. Just ask Dan Coats. He wouldn’t run for reelection to his senate seat because Evan Bayh was running. That was ‘98. 12 years later Evan Bayh quits and Coats ‘steps up’. Consider them the Kennedy’s without the drownings and rapes/drugs. This pretty boy can write his ticket. When you look at Indiana you get Dick Lugar and the current governor as senators-squishy. Let’s hope this Bayh doesn’t become one of the 100 senators.
Family…and Tribe.
The Bayh name doesn’t carry that much weight in Indiana anymore. When Birch was around, we were a big union state and democrats had some power. Now that power is confined mostly to Indianapolis, Evansville and the Gary region. Most voters under 50 wouldn’t even recognize the Bayh name. I’m sure the media will work hard to make him a politic icon, but like his father his ties to the state are tenuous at best. Except when his dad was governor, I’m guessing he’s never lived or worked in Indiana. He would have to buy a PO box to establish residency to run in the state, much like his dad did in later years.
One of Evan’s favorites was to vote for some ultra-liberal bill and then come back to Indiana and tell everyone he had a much more conservative bill he wrote, but he couldn’t generate enough support to get it up for a vote.
The recent total capitulation by the RINO’s to the democrats on the redistricting vote is the latest, very sad, sad example. Embarrassed to be a Hoosier here, sigh.
Indiana, not India.
Try to keep up.
WTF kind of name is Bayh?
“The Adoration of the Bayh Child with the three Magi”
Beau and the three Wise Guys.
You forgot about Lee Hamilton, another fluffer from Indiana that served for 34 years. Good enough to fool most Hoosiers.
