Are you sure 81635 of this?!?

Short term memory is what all Democrats have...All I knew about Bill Clinton in 1992 before NH was that he gave the longest and most dry speech in DNC history. Rock story Bill? He grew into on the national stage. And as a native of Iowa, all that matters is coffee shop politics. If you win Iowa, chances are you win the nomination. Evan Bayh could beat Hilary in Iowa. The "purests" had their chance in Iowa in 2004- Dean. They had the common sense to pick the ticket on a cold night in Jan. They will do the same in 2008- Bayh and Feingold.

Sorry, Bayh just doesn't have it.

And, Bayh is not the only "thoughtful" person in the field. Edwards, Biden, Hillary, Warner, Feingold are all extremely smart (in fact, I think smarter than Evan Bayh), and as it so happens, they are also more talented than Bayh.

VP at best, he's not going to be President come 2009.

The more I see and listen to Bayh speak the more I like what he has to say. Will definately continue to keep an eye on Bayh as we move closer to declaring candidacy.

While his father was NOT the kind of man I respect because of his prejudiced views, I do like the son. He seems to have developed a bit of the humility that his father never had. And it doesn't stop him from making some fair and firm assessments of the situation at present.
I like his approach about consensus building. I'll keep my eyes and ears open to him. We need someone other than Hillary.

Like his late father, Senator is intelligent, wise, and perceptive, a quality representative of the people. Coupled with the equally brilliant and charismatic John Edwards, the Democrats would have the ticket America deserves after eight years of underhanded, evil tactics.

uh

Politics has become show business, and Americans choose their elected officials with the same level of intelect they choose their screen idols. Glamour trumps substance. This brief interview with Senator Bayh is a nice introduction to a statesman who has demonstrated an ability to transend party lines to execute practices which not only sound good, but are good and of sound judgement. He is a brilliant man with a fine record and deserves consideration.

Electability and resume are tops, but x factor still a question. Better for Bayh to emerge from Warner's shadow than other way around...if he can find some passion.

Senator Bayh seems like someone I would enjoy sitting down with to have a long and expansive conversation but, from what little I have seen, he doesn't seem to have the "it" factor like a Clinton or Reagan. The ideal candidate must have political and policy smarts but he/she must also have the ability to sell at an emotional level. ...I'm not feeling it yet with Mr. Bayh.

SOLD!

Well, he didn't say anything. Like, at all. These are all platitudes. If Bayh indeed has a secret plan to win over the minds of the American people, he may be underestimating them. His tone and discourse are better fitted for an eight hour long rambling speech in the Senate. Like that's going to work in Nashua, Condord and Manchester.

that guy is great
