Why?
1. He was a Hillary supporter and would have been her VP candidate. Obama stole Indiana in the primaries with thugs and ruthless tactics.
2. Obama put him very publicly on the short list for VP, then jerked him around (and no doubt got dirt on him through vetting) and then chose Biden. How humiliating.
3. Bayh is not an extreme leftist, and working with such has to have contributed to this, but I think it’s a very personal shafting of Obama and Reid.
Slow boil. Makes perfect sense!!
I like your number three. Announcement timed perfectly and on President’s Day also.
WHACK!
I don't doubt that but I don't recall what happened with the IN primary. What ruthless tactics were employed?
