Bayh Buzz

[MrScorpio]

It's everywhere!

Bzzzzzzzzt!1!1

[rurallib]

1. ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz.....

I was young when his dad was in the senate. My recollection is that he was a real leader. Evan just ain't got it.

[Skwmom]

2. I remember reading an article that compared him to Dan Quayle.

It was a long time ago but the essence of the article was that Bayh is an empty suit. To me, he doesn't seem like the sharpest tool in the shed.

4. sadly, apt

More like the dullest tool in the shed. And he is a tool.

11. another Daddy's boy -- that want cut it with Obama's vision of real change

[Skwmom]

12. Birch Evans Bayh III . That should really help fight the elitist charge.

[MrScorpio]

3. Do you think that this is by design?

Obama planning on reducing the office of the VP's foot print to its traditional level?

The end of co-presidencies on the horizon.

[YOY]

5. Because we so need a DLCer to balance out the ticket...

:sarcasm:

[Skwmom]

7. I would not want a corporate VP waiting in the wings with billions on the line.

[YOY]

8. Why not? Think of all the good Lieberman did since the Gore campagn

(Do I even need a sarcasm tag???)

[bigwillq]

10. That's change in action right there

:sarcasm:

6. It could be that the buzz is right but sometimes the buzz goes awry.

And the Obama team seems to be very agile in its moves on the court.

I'll wait 'em out to see what comes.

If they ring me up, I'm going to make the case for Barbara Boxer, Bill Bradley, and Brian Schweitzer. With Biden as Sec. of State and John Edwards or Russ Feingold for AG. I'd like Max Cleland in a major role, very possible Veterans. I'd like to see Joe Hogsett as assistant AG. And how about Bill Moyers, Mario Cuomo, and John Lewis as a Special Advisors Group for the 8-to-16 year Blue agenda?

9. depends on what kind of person the real obama is eh? nt

[thewiseguy]

15. The real Obama?

I expect to read this type of shit on a Freeper website.

13. Bayh Can Buzz Off.

50% Naral rated Pro-War Bush enabling Senators NEED NOT APPLY.

[TwilightGardener]

14. Eh, the Bayh bashing is getting tiresome. He may or may not be Obama's pick, but

he's a safe choice who won't fuck it up for us. He's not my favorite politician, and I used to bash him too, but he's not dumb--he's no Quayle. He's managed to win repeatedly in a red state and to keep his approval ratings up--that takes some skill (I know, I live in a red state where the GOPers love Ben Nelson--I see Nelson and Bayh as two peas in a pod).

[Bleacher Creature]

16. It's not going to be Bayh. It's just too obvious at this point.

I still get the sense that the decision is being kept under tight wraps. The mere fact that there are so many "signals" about Bayh makes me think that it's just a ruse by the Obama campaign to distract people from the real choice.

This isn't an opinion for or against Bayh. I just don't think they will choose him.
