Bayh: Assassination Reminds Us That If We Don't Pick Hillary, GOP Could Paint Dems As Weak

Looks like Obama adviser David Axelrod isn't the only key player talking about the effect the Bhutto assassination will have on the Dem primary.

Here's Hillary supporter Evan Bayh, saying that the killing is a reminder that the Republicans will use such occasions to paint Dems as weak, which is why we need to nominate Hillary:

“When there are unfortunate calamities like this, the Republicans [will say], ‘See. See what we told you? We have to have someone who’s strong to defend America at a time of concern.’ Well, Senator Clinton is strong,” he said. “And she’s experienced. And she’s tough enough to defend this country and do it in a way that’s true to our values, the civil liberties we cherish, and that’s one of the reasons why I’m supporting her.”... “The job of the next president is not to be entertainer in chief. The job of the next president is to move our country forward to make the substantive changes that will matter in our daily lives, and to protect us in an uncertain and dangerous world. And that’s why in a field of very good candidates, I believe Senator Clinton has the right combination of experience and strength to accomplish all of those things.”

Yes, I remember how she claimed Chelsea was jogging around the World Trade Center when it was hit. Another “mistake”. Oh well.

He’s in the bag for her VP. She takes all the blue states Gore and Kerry got plus one red (Indiana)—it’s hers. This is proof that the Clinton/Bayh ticket is already a done deal.
