A hard reelect number in the 50% range is pretty damn good. As of now the President is in good shape. There is one democrat that scares me, and he's not running. His name is Evan Bayh. I think he's going to be VERY tough to beat if he somehow wins the democratic nomination from Hillary! in 2008.

I agree, Bayh seems unusually level-headed for a RAT.

I agree. Evan Bayh looks tough. He's been good at appearing reasonable, something the vast majority of Democrats aren't. But whenever I see him on a news show, he's so "moderate" in tone he appears to be a "Stepford wife."

When you put any of the "nine dwarfs," especially the French-looking John F. Kerry or Howard ("I'm a nut") Dean on a ticket, watch the numbers shift DRASTICALLY against the Dems.

The word on Bayh is that he makes Al Gore look animated. In other words, he doesn't have the charisma that the people look for in a national leader. He might make a good VP selection.
