I hate to admit it, but the guy does look rather presidential(granted it takes alot more than this to win the nomination but hence once again vanity). On a side note though he does stand a good shot at winning a national election, if you take a look back at his days as governor and what he ran on as a senator. When he ran for governor he ran under a platform of cutting taxes and i can't remember which one it was but it was either his senate or gubernatorial campaign that he ran under a flat tax. He is a social conservative but is held back by his national party. Now the question is, are the moonbats and moveon.org types going to let a rather conservative democrat like him win the nomination? (His record in the senate i believe is more liberal than he actually is, but we all know that when democrats go to washignton they have to give up some of their core beliefs or get flogged)

Any thoughts?

I remember his Father. He was a bad one and so is his Son.

Bayh has about the same chance of being the RAT nominee as this assclown does of joining the NFL.

[inkling]

Bayh is so stiff he makes Gore look like Robin Williams. Also he's too "conservative" (yeah, right) for the liberal establishment. No threat from this guy.

[Kenny Bunkport]

My comments? That "Flickr" program is one slow application.

I belly-laughed over the pic of Bayh walking with the black couple, with a high-spired church in the background. BTW, did he rent those kids, or are they his?

What's so Presidential? He looks like the average John P. Whiteguy from Yourtown, USA.

[kayak]

I think that Bayh is one of those liberals who likes to masquerade as being more conservative than he is. The fact that his record is liberal is no fluke, unless I'm mistaken.

Hopefully no one will have to look. Indiana Hoosiers never forget. They will have distasteful recollections of the man who drove Indiana's economy down the drain.

Remove the word "Presidential" and there's the factual statement.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

He looks awful.

So you are half right.

[Southack]

Bayh is blowing his Presidential asperations by being obstructionistic against judges.
