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.”

If Herself, the Cold and Joyless, DOES get picked as the nominee (hardly an ironclad certainty at moment), the Democraticans will not only be painted as “weak” by the Republicans, they will be perceived as BEING weak, by those who are now just ambivalent.
Dennis Kucinich does not look all that bad in comparison.
At least that little gnome doesn’t look older and older every day.
Sir, you repeat yourself. LOL
Hi CBB, nice to read you again.
Terrorists and/or wacko Liberals. Same ole; same ole.

Happy New Year!!!
Yep, they made a deal early on -- which is why Bayh dropped out of sight before even getting started. Back then she figured Bayh was the only candidate that could challenge her for the Dem nomination. ....but Obama threw a monkey wrench into those plans.
Yeah, she’s experienced at making up stories about “Vast Right Wing Conspiracies” targeting her husband.
She may have made a promise to Bayh but she will never keep it. Her VP will be Weasley Clark.
The idea that Hillary is somehow 'strong' makes us all look stupid. And if she is elected; our stupidity will be confirmed.

Where IS the Repub voice? Still waiting. . .after all these years. . .
Oh, so now we’re going to hear about Hillary’s military experience? We all well remember how the Clinton presidency treated the military. If she’s elected our military will be back delivering pizzas and fighting with wooden rifles. These people are insane!
He is still a schmuck.
I disagree he is an empty suit and still a schmuck.
Every time Evan Bayh opens his mouth something stupid comes out! He is still running for the VP slot.
I don’t comprehend the title of this article. [insert pix of bunny rabbit with pancake on head here]
Ah, but there’s no contradiction. Hillary and Evan cherish their civil rights. They don’t cherish Mr. Dale’s. Long as you understand that, everything makes perfect sense.
*g*
I agree.
I feel better already. As far as I can tell, the entire Democrat field is weak, focusing on socialist give-aways instead of staying alive. A really bad thing to do.
Nominate Hillaryous to run, so we can say Bayh, Bayh. Yeah, that’s the ticket Evan.
