3. great news

Yes, i now expect the Senate to be blue.. altho I was already before leaning t hat way slightly... this improves it 100%.. Watch the GOP really go batshit insane now.. I think he wants to come back with a majority and he knows he has a better than 50 percent plus chance to retake this seat.. maybe he is noty perfectly [progressive but he will do a damn sight better than Coates!! GO Blue Wave in Nov!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4. And he will win. Bayh is a stronger candidate.

The Dems will take back this seat.

5. Wow...this ought to be a relatively easy pickup now...

Bayh is beloved.

7. I know the strength of the Bayh brand in IN but how was he able to buck the GOP trend there?

9. that's easy: 2 reasons....number one, his father. number 2:

see post 8

6. I met Evan Bayh in the 90's

He was the keynote speaker of the KS state Democratic convention, held that year in Wichita. He spoke much more liberally than he had to campaign in IN. Not surprising considering how conservative IN is.

I like him. He is operating in a rather hostile environment. So I like him a lot.

If he can win this, I like him a whole lot more.

He is a good person.

8. I found this in one second, after googling 'Bayh DINO'

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has hired former Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN) to participate in a regulatory reform "road show" of speeches, events and media appearances, according to a memo obtained by iWatch News.

"The Chamber's communications professionals, working closely with our federation and government affairs teams, have done an excellent job educating the public and policymakers about the regulatory overload the nation currently faces, its damaging impact on our economy and jobs, and the urgent need for change," President Thomas Donohue wrote in a June 2 memo to the Chamber's board of directors, supporters and friends. "I'm pleased to report that the Chamber has recently enlisted former White House Chief of Staff Andy Card and former Senator Evan Bayh who will carry a bipartisan message on regulatory reform out around the country."

who else is tired of CONSTANTLY having to hold their nose while voting?

10. now we know why doncon is taking Pence out on the stump. for one thing,

Bayh has almost nine times as much cash as the pug, who has only about a mill.

so depending on how fast Hillary's numbers crater in light of the email fiasco, Pence could be the man. if doncon is holding strong/gaining, he could very well pick the wingnut buffoon from Indiana. from state or national level, I don't see it helping the pugs

go ahead, don. do it that way. it all depends on how slavishly the MSM toes the trump line from this point on
