Lol thats probably true but i think we have to be careful not to pull a dean again. By that i mean that were cheering so loudly for dean(or hillary in this case) since we know that they may not be very electable that democrats panic and choose somone who is electable. If you remember december up to january during the dem primaries when you had national polls, kerry was the one who actually at the time looked like he could beat bush whereas the others didnt have much of a chance. Im sure in a national poll bayh when people get to know him would register higher than hillary and if we keep running stories ala National Review "NOMINATE THIS MAN!!!" we may scare democrat activists into nominating Bayh. While its very possible we could win the popular vote in 2008 we can loose the EV count to a Bayh/Richardson ticket which i beleive is the strongest dem ticket(albeit the most conservative one too)(zell miller excluded but if miller ran i'd almost be tempted to vote for him if we put up a RINO like mccain). Indiana is 11 EV's NM is 5 and both men are very popular in their home states so its likely they would carry them(NM moreso than Indiana since its barely red this time). Thats 16 EV's, and with colorado being in the situation that it is, a coloardo flip of 9 EV's would yield 24 EV's giving dems what they need to win. Underestimating Bayh in a national election would be foolish.
