Nope, go back to Indiana and become governor, get out of Washington. And after the bullying around and lying that Daniels has done to Indiana, Gov. Bayh has better-than-should-be-expected chances.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1168299978560327702007-01-08T18:46:00.000-05:002007-01-08T18:46:00.000-05:00Bayh has a compelling personal story which motivat...Bayh has a compelling personal story which motivates him to want to run for president. His father and namesake was planning to make a serious run for president, when his wife got cancer and died young. "Marvella" is a book she wrote, worth reading.<BR/>- robbin stewart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1168114348334183372007-01-06T15:12:00.000-05:002007-01-06T15:12:00.000-05:00If Evan Bayh chooses to run, and I doubt it, it's ...If Evan Bayh chooses to run, and I doubt it, it's his to lose. He'd not have ot give up his Senate seat to do so.<BR/><BR/>He's not been in the majority yet, except for that brief Jeffords fiasco. He might find it more enjoyable.<BR/><BR/>Fiegenbaum and Howey should get together, though. Their predictions lately have been suspect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1168094743905381472007-01-06T09:45:00.000-05:002007-01-06T09:45:00.000-05:00It would be a big mistake for Bayh, in my opinion,...It would be a big mistake for Bayh, in my opinion, especially if Daniels decided to run for re-election. It would be the first time Bayh ran against a serious office holder since John Mutz. Consequently, Bayh has not had his record seriously challenged, and a serious challenge by someone who actually gets things done in my opinion would bloody him. Even given Bayh's high approval ratings today and Daniels' low approval ratings, my money would be on Daniels, if he chooses to run.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1168052241780857082007-01-05T21:57:00.000-05:002007-01-05T21:57:00.000-05:00If I'm reading this correctly, Bayh would use the ...If I'm reading this correctly, Bayh would use the Governor's mansion in 2008 (if he would win) as a 4 year campaign HQ for 2012?<BR/><BR/>*reads state constitution* Oh he can run even after having served twice.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, he'd better serve himself by staying in the Senate. Modern political reality - a candidate should be from a big electoral vote state. New York, Illinois, Florida, Texas, California, etc. Yeah Clinton was from wee little Arkansas but Hillary was claiming to be from Illinois back then, before she became a resident of the Hamptons.<BR/><BR/>Unless a candidate is "all that" - which Bayh isn't - a "small state" candidate isn't going to cut it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
