This practice of using one's spouse for payola is nothing more than a legalized form of bribery. It flies in the face of what movement Democrats claim to represent.

How downright Republican of them!

The Indiana Dems should be uneasy with Bayh backing Clinton. Also note that Hogsett is running the Indiana show for Hillary. I was wondering whatever happened to good 'ol Joe. I sure hope Hogsett is more successful in running Clinton's efforts in Indiana than Eddie Mahern was in running Jimmy Carter's back in '80.

As far as the Bayh personal bank account, one always has to wonder when the Senator's largest contributor has been the Carlyle Group.

I think anybody could have seen this endorsement coming from a mile away. The reason Evan Bayh was so popular in Indiana as a Democrat was because he was seen as a centrist, right? I think Hillary's a little too left for a conservative state but I guess we'll see. She'd be foolish to give him the VP nod, though, if you ask me. I'm thinking Bill Richardson for the Hispanic vote.

And when Susan Bayh was a trustee at Butler University, she was paid $25,000 -- eight times the going rate for a part-time professor --to teach a single class. Evan has not one, but two honorary degrees from Butler.

Susan Bayh earned virtually all of her money from sitting on corporate boards--nothwithstanding her complete lack of qualifications to sit on those boards other than the fact that her husband was an important politician--and the generous stock option plans she got from service on those boards. Evan has cast plenty of votes which benefitted those corporate boards on which she sat and is still sitting to this day. This practice of using one's spouse for payola is nothing more than a legalized form of bribery. It flies in the face of what movement Democrats claim to represent. This is far from being a Rovian attack.

The tired repetitive EB drivel offered up here is sorry.

Surely you don't expect us to believe that because Tully said it, you're somehow validated.

You're a better writer drunk that he is sober. And a clearer thinker.

The only part of this post that makes any sense, is the statistic about net worth. There is some paydirt there. Although, Susan Bayh has contributed mightily to the family bank. To my knowledge, Char Lugar has never worked outside the home.

Personally, I hope you and fellow right-thinkers spend a lot of time worrying about Hillary's impact on the national and state tickets. Spend all your time on it. Hire a bunch of consultants. Spend millions. Until mid-Nov. 2008.

Gary, such talk is divisive and reeks of the Rovian spirit. How about we discuss the issues, huh? Where are Hillary, Evan, Edwards, Biden, Romney, et al, on: the fiscal health of our nation, this insane war, international affairs, etc.

You're seriously under-estimating the wisdom of Hoosier and national voters. They're completely "over" this President and the Rovian divide/conquer politics.
