In the vetting of Bayh by the Obamunnistic hirelings there is stench that even the crackerjack investigative journalists of Kevin The Pimp could sniff out. It dates back to the curious shooting one evening of an IPD officer - supposedly across the street from 4600 N. Meridian. He was shot in the back by the bicycle thief he was chasing, so the story went. The Indiana State Troopers who kept an eye on Evan and Susan during those long ago times know the truth. And within lies the reason Evan will never rise above his current Peter Principled post...and shouldn't.

For the record I'm a white, independent-minded, registered voter. And Bayh nauseates me. Simply because he strikes me as a sycophant leech who takes the political position of riding whatever political coattails he can. It's undeniable he has hopped into bed politically with the Clinton's -- yes, Hammer's example of sticking with Slick Willy during impeachment is one example, but another more important example is his unfaltering support of Hillary during the primaries... primaries that were well before Indiana's primary. This to me was sickening because his support for Mrs. Clinton pre-empted the will of Indiana voters who had not yet had the opportunity to vote in the Indiana primary. Or, one could say that Bayh was exercising his personal political opinion as a Democrat, or perhaps as a superdelegate -- and not exercising his political responsibility as a member of Indiana's delegation to Congress. The conventional wisdom is that Mrs. Clinton had many supporters in Indiana, and if Obama picks Bayh as his VP, he will not only attract Hoosier votes, but also more support from Clintonites -- in Indiana and otherwise -- from supporters who are well aware of Bayh's support for Hillary. But the greater risk is that Obama fractures his own political base among registered voters like myself, who believe that Bayh puts his own political aspirations above the interests of the State of Indiana. In short, I very well might vote for Obama this fall, but not if I have to also vote for Bayh. Bayh might be a Hoosier, but in my opinion, he's a Clintonite first, a Democrat second, and a Hoosier only third or perhaps farther down on a list of loyalties. The candidates I vote for can be of any political party, as long as they are Hoosiers first. Bayh's not.

A skinny African American who can't decide whether he's Black or white, who preaches to the Germans when he's tanking here at home. A guy who thinks he's already president and travels around chanting "Yes we can" but what has he told us about his 'can, plan', absolutely nothing! The space under the bus is getting crowded as he daily tosses another friend or relative under the Obama bus, including his White Granny. This guy(Obama) with the help of Davis Axelrod has done more to harm race relations than George Wallace did and he expects to be nominated for president?Why not take on flag stomping Willian Ayres as his VP, that ought to raise some hackles. He can't win the GE and the Dems only hope(Hillary) was treated unfairly and sexism was made an issue,hence, PUMA's. Obama is the Danny Quayle not Bayh, but I do see what you mean. another good article. As for Obama's change- the only change I can see is that I will have less change in my pocket if Obama gets the nom. He's already promised mega bucks to every country except the USA.

So Evan, if you're out there and reading you should certainly take your cues from a second rate foul tempered leftist who has enjoyed such jounalistic success as Hammer. You most certainly should vet your political ambitions to those who write of their desire to assult republicans as Hammer has done. How you managed to become a US senator without heeding The Sainted One's advice is a mystery. Rest assured if you run and hide yourself away so as not to embarrass The Sainted One, all will be well in Hoosier land - Oprahama will win, the homeless will find homes, the uneducated will flock to libraries, everyone will become vegetarians who ride bikes to work, Ann Coulter will not sell another book, and jet planes will run on solar power and manure.

1,000 days in office and what did he accomplish? Escalating the war in Vietnam? Making a promise kept by others to beat the Russians to the moon? This was a good article, but I think that Steve is living in a dream world with the Kennedy worship. He wasn't that great and that would have been found out if he had not had his office tradegically cut short. The leadership pool our country has to draw from with the Baby Boomers is marked "5 FEET - NO DIVING." We've got a has-been and a never-was running for president. And these candidates now see the danger is having a "strong" VP like in the Bush-Cheney Co-Presidency. The candidates need VPs even lamer than they!
