3. We need a field of ideas, but not everyone who has the ideas has to run for the nomination.
Do we really need 8 to 10 candidates in the primaries, splitting the vote every which way? The pie can only be sliced so many ways and a great number of candidates would seem to assure that one of the front runner, big names gets the nomination. Bayh is smart enough and pragmatic enough to realize that he would be a long shot for the nomination. I think my own Senator Feingold came to that same conclusion. Good ideas are good ideas, whether somebody is running or not.
