Every calculated move in politics is self-serving. Evan ddin't give a damn about the people in Indiana as governor and he certainly doesn't give a damn about us now that he is a U.S. Senator.<BR/><BR/>For any governor to close the state's mental hospital, Central State and leave helpless citizens to live on the streets homeless is a crime. Now we are complaining about the homeless.<BR/><BR/>He didn't care about the least of these in our state, but he certainly cares about the corporate money bags. Whoever said the Republicans have all of the money is liar.<BR/><BR/>These so called moderate Democrats pander to uninformed poor people and minorities while lining their own pockets with the gold and silver. <BR/><BR/>They are known for sponsoring too many social programs that don't work or improve their living conditions at the taxpayers expense. Spend and tax Democrats.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-66642118343472595912007-09-24T20:28:00.000-05:002007-09-24T20:28:00.000-05:00Anon 8:24,<BR/><BR/>Hillary may be the only Dem candidate who is borderline unelectable. Almost half the country say they won't even consider voting for her. Of course, if the GOP is stupid enough to nominate someone other than Rudy or Fred -- meaning they once again fail to repudiate the Jerry Falwell wing that much of the country finds so odious -- that could change.<BR/><BR/>Bayh wasn't bad for the state as governor, but he won't help Hillary here. She cannot win this state. Period. She needs a VP who can help her pick up a state. Hillary would drag down Bayh and possibly cost the Dems a Senate seat.<BR/><BR/>And while Bayh himself wasn't bad for the state, O'Bannon/Kernan was an absolute disaster. Incompetent, corruption not seen in Indiana state government in a quarter century, sycophants telling them it was OK to run as ol' granddad and not change a thing and pandering to the worst instincts of this state that continue to drive away young, educated people that every state needs.<BR/><BR/>Mitch is not perfect, but he's probably the last chance this state has to stop its spiral toward becoming the Mississippi of the North.Jeff Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04896694141148386531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-14297724477878853422007-09-24T19:42:00.000-05:002007-09-24T19:42:00.000-05:007:23, cite your source and the exact vote, please. I am certian you're mistaken.<BR/><BR/>Sen. Bayh fought hard, and alone for a long time, to get proper armor to our soldiers. You know-- the ones W sent to war without enough food or body armor or vehicle armor. All to prop up his testosterone dreams.<BR/><BR/>As for Sen. Bayh's lasting contributions to the state--I'm not sure who said "debt," but they're obviously fact-challenged.<BR/><BR/>Evan has made a choice. I don't think it'll affect many in this state one way or another. He's entitled.<BR/><BR/>It's amazing how folks find fault with a successful statewide Democrat, who is smarter asleep than Brian Bosma is awake.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-90553419555290514072007-09-24T19:23:00.000-05:002007-09-24T19:23:00.000-05:00Evan Bayh voted against giving our soldiers in Iraq sufficient rest time before returning to Iraq...he should be ashamed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-86894875819902563092007-09-24T17:14:00.000-05:002007-09-24T17:14:00.000-05:00Is Bayh really what Indiana thought he would be?

I am fairly certain Little Birch is vying for the Veep selection. And very well could get it. Assuming Hillary gets the Dems nod, the running mate will NOT be Barack Hussein Obama. Hillary might try John Edwards again, pick Bill Richardson (he was Energy secretary under her first two Presidential terms as I recall) or someone from the Left Coast. Wherever Hillary is weakest, that's where she'll pick a Veep to help out the ticket. Hillary can fake herself as a New Yorker and a Southerner considering her carpetbagger experience, and the People's Republic of Illinois will come through for her. She won't carry Indiana with or without Little Birch and she won't win against Fred in 2008.Sir Hailstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301073859882785758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-13945200962082141962007-09-24T09:51:00.000-05:002007-09-24T09:51:00.000-05:00"Can you please share with us any accomplishments he achieved during his 8 years as governor which have had a lasting impact on our state?"<BR/><BR/>Other than debt, debt, and more debt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-58446715735372340712007-09-24T08:30:00.000-05:002007-09-24T08:30:00.000-05:00"Ambitious, yes, but he was a good governor."<BR/><BR/>Can you please share with us any accomplishments he achieved during his 8 years as governor which have had a lasting impact on our state?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-37960224669721416782007-09-24T08:24:00.000-05:002007-09-24T08:24:00.000-05:00Step-away-from-the-Dem-hate, Gary. <BR/><BR/>These observations from a strong Dem who thinks it's ours to lose in 2008, by a long damned shot:<BR/><BR/>Hillary: ambition in a (female pant) suit. Still, the single-most talented person in the race, on either side. Smart. And while her philandering husband may have disgraced his office, she did not. She deserves a chance.<BR/><BR/>Evan: Ambitious, yes, but he was a good governor. He and I disagree on much. But I know him--and this endorsement is not trolling for the VP slot. Frankly, I don't know why he's doing it--kinda leaves me limp.<BR/><BR/>Indiana Dems: not sycophants. Evan's endorsement means something to many of us, but the race will be over by the time our primary arrives. I'm backing Obama, but if Hillary gets the nomination, she'll win easily in the fall.<BR/><BR/>Because that hopeless band of ranting loons on your side is sorry. It's like a freak sideshow.<BR/><BR/>Which, I'm sorry to say, is exactly what you get when you win elections by pandering to the extreme elements in your aprty and our society. Every chicken comes home to roost sometime.<BR/><BR/>And I'm also hoping my side learns from the last few years, doesn't gloat, and governs better than the incumbents.
