He's been preening awhile for this. Has quite a collection of
baby hugging photos too.

His father, Senator Birch Bayh lost to Jimmy Carter in a presidential run in 1976.

LOL!

Senators rarely win. Kennedy was the last. Barely and still controversial.

Democrats had best go with a Southern Governor if they want any chance of winning.

If they have any southern Governors left?

How many?

I would venture a comment that he would certainly be a much better choice than the Marxist Witch of Arkansas. God, what a disgusting thought, to even associate her name with the office of President...the epitome of evil, incompetence, fanatic politics, politcal control and hate.

ANYTHING but Hitlery...

Here's why pretty boy should bother you:
He's a very telegenic politician who comes across as a moderate (no arguments on what that is, please, it's just that he's no "extremist," and I'm talking about how the average voter does and will perceive him).

But here's what's really scary:

As the nominee, he could peel off Indiana.
That means we would likely lose the WH.
He would be less likely to do that in the Veep spot (especially if he were running with Hillary), but he'd still threaten our electoral total by jeopardizing Indy.

May I answer the Indiana FReepers in advance? If your impulse is to say, he won't carry Indiana, he's just a pretty boy...why do you keep electing him senator? More to the point, you should remember that you (me, too) basically only talk to people who think like you, so they're really not a great barometer.

Anyway...Go Irish!

People can spot a phony a mile away...

I have seen NO evidence that this is true for Dim primary voters.....

He had his shot in 2004 and might have won. But Mrs. FBI file is going to win the nomination, or someone will end up with a horse head in their bed.

Is this the smae "moderate" Dem who voted against Condelezza Rice?

If so (hint, it is so) then he is not a moderate.

Bayh knows a thing or two about running for president. His father, Senator Birch Bayh lost to Jimmy Carter in a presidential run in 1976.

Birch Bayh, the father, lost his Senate seat to J. Danforth Quayle.

FWIW.

I dunno about this one. Bayh stands a better chance of unseating a Republican candidate nationwide than Hillary does. Hillary will get no more of the vote than Kerry, but Bayh could lure some Republicans away. That's the bad news.

The good news is that given Howard the Maniac's position as DNC Chair, in addition to the vocal contributions of moveon.org, the Hollywood Left and Michael Moore - Bayh doesn't stand a snowballs chance in hell ever making in through the primaries. Look what the did to Gephardt and Lieberman, either of which would have run a cleaner and tighter race against Bush.

Thank God for the Lunatic Left!

"People can spot a phony a mile away, that's the number one, number two, you really got to fight for those things you believe in," said Bayh.

What a phony.

Bayh has a pedantic, cliched and soporific mind and style. He is going nowhere in his quixotic presidential quest. Of course, he is really running for VP. But he will run so poorly, and drop out so early, if he runs, that it just won't happen. That's what Torie's crystal ball reveals.

Bayh has been allowed to get away with casting himself as a moderate / conservative Dem. In reality he's as left as any of the others.

I'm really more of a former governor than anything else," said Bayh.

Thank God. That rules out a presidential position. Even he says he's not qualified. A retired governorship is the best he can do.

You nailed the VP prediction many moons ago. I say the Hillary hype is designed so she can win New York in 2006 and keep the power as a Senator. Governor Jeb on the ballot as pres? I think it's as good as gold...

His father must have been a REAL loser!
