The New Front Runner?

Things I like about Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana:

1) He is a Democrat from a red state. I recently had a chance to drive across Indiana, and there wasn’t much to see. Farms, fields, and the occasional Peyton Manning jersey. It is the picture of red America. That Bayh could win there says something about what he brings to the table.

2) That this particular red state borders Illinois is also a plus. Could an Obama/Bayh ticket squeak out a win? Probably not likely, but definitely possible.

3) Bayh is a fresh face, someone that most people won’t have made their minds up about yet. He would look damn good as the heir-apparent in 8 years.

4) Bayh, much like Joe Biden, is also not Hillary Clinton.
