You beat me by ONE minute, my FRiend!

Trying to put IN into play....outside shot at it.

Now time for McCain to go unconventional......SARAH PALIN!!!!!!!

Contrast Bayh’s White male and boringness with the charm and charisma of an exciting female candidate!!!!

I posted this in another thread, but I imagine this “mistake” is a trial balloon to see what is the reaction to this news.

If it is a collective yawn, then Obama’s handlers still have time to find a higher profile VP.

they’re probably going to check for the response on FR before confirming it.

Bayh would be a funny pick. The moonbats hate him and it will further embolden Hillary at the Dems’ convention in Denver.

Why go to New Mexico tomorrow to make the announcement, though (more of Richardson’s territory)? Perhaps this is a feint instead of the real pick...

Thanks for this thread!

I’ve started gathering things on youtube.

Bayh was an avid supporter of Hillary during the primaries.

We can put things like this to good use.

I am skeptical of that “mistake”. It is someone else.

Obama thought he was too cool and exciting to be elected, so he decided to find a boring guy to balance the ticket.

Talk about a bunch that is not ready for prime time. Who in the world would want them running the military of this country when this is the way they keep secrets in a campaign?

I think Bayh is the smartest pick Obama could make. I don’t know if he’ll flip Indiana, but he’ll definitely make it more competitive and at the very least make McCain work to keep it.
