Well thank God it's not Bayh

[Skip Intro]

even though I like the guy

[julialnyc]

1. cheers to that

[GarbagemanLB]

2. Amen. What a boring pick.

[calimary]

9. Absolutely. It would have been Evan WHO?

And it would have helped us in a few counties in Indiana (probably not the whole state) and nowhere else.

[WA98296]

3. Yeah, but at least it's another corporatist.

[Skip Intro]

4. c'mon man, it's not like any of these guys are going to really change things

deep in the back of our collective minds we know that


the charade is somewhat entereaining this time around tho, eh?

[muntrv]

5. Like Hillary? As in Hillary on Sprawl Mart's board of directors until 1992?

[Skip Intro]

6. ooooooohhhhh - I HATE her so MUCH!

Hillary. HILLARY!

You make me sooo MAD!

[Colobo]

14. Give it up, man....

[Czolgosz]

7. At least Bayh probably would have helped in Indiana, which we won't win now.

[calimary]

10. It just as likely would not have helped all that much.

[Czolgosz]

11. I don't like Bayh much, but I can't even pretend that Biden has any hope of bringing a single

electoral vote; Bayh at least had the potential to bring Indiana.

[COLGATE4]

13. Biden can bring PA

Don't forget that Biden is a native of PA. His kind of populism works very well in PA. Southern Ohio and Maryland and should help us win there, in addition to Delaware.

[Czolgosz]

15. If PA isn't already in our column, we have already lost. Fortunately, every poll shows we were going

to win PA no matter who Obama selected.

[Peregrine Took]

8. But now we get all those 3 electoral votes in Delaware!! n/t

[Douglas Carpenter]

12. exactly,Biden is no dove, but at least he is not a neoconservative KOOK like Bayh

Sen. Biden did indeed vote for the IWR, Bayh was one of the most enthusiastic cheerleaders for the war.

"The Committee for the Liberation of Iraq (CLI) is pleased to welcome Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) as an Honorary Co-Chairman. Bayh becomes the third U.S. Senator to join the committee after Sens. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) announced their participation on January 28.

The Committee is a neo-con group that was formed to propagandize the country into war. It boasted such illustrious neocon members as Bill Kristol, former CIA director James Woolsey, and even McCain senior foreign policy adviser and Chalabi-bamboozler Randy Scheunemann, whom Josh has been blogging about."

Bayh is such a wacko foreign policy extremist that his biggest problem with the war in Iraq seemed to be that he was afraid it would prevent a war with Iran:

"This is a hallmark of Evan Bayh. A former chairman of the Democratic Leadership Council and a past recipient Henry M. "Scoop" Jackson Award for Distinguished Service from the neoconservative security think tank JINSA, Bayh has been running to the right of his Democratic colleagues on foreign affairs for a while now."
