Evan Bayh for Veep?

[BiggJawn]

Anyone besides us Hoosiers hearing this noise?
I dunno.....Evan's strong on the Enviroment, but he rides in the drug companys jocks and is hard-core DLC.

Met with Lieberman, McCain, and the Chimp in the rose garden for snackies and came out stiff and throbbing for the war.

I won't suport his re-election to the Senate, why would I support him for Veep other than "ABB"?

1. Even I would have deep reservations

about voting for a Kerry/Bayh ticket.

He needs a strong labor person on the ticket, preferably one from a swing state.

2. I'm beginning to hope for a Kerry/Gephardt ticket.

Gephardt can deliver labor...and I think Missouri as well.

5. Terrible idea

He didn't do much to deliver up labor in Iowa. I don't see him being able to bring in many additional votes, and he adds nothing at all apart from the votes that he can't bring in.

12. Kerry/Gephardt ticket

You could just about count-out any Dean supporters from this combination because of the hard feelings from the Iowa bust up--the one in which Kerry benefited so greatly.

[uhhuh]

3. It been floated here

At least twice yesterday. I wonder what's up with that?
I think he would be a lousy choice.

[Crunchy Frog]

4. Big mistake in my opinion

Won't make Kerry much more palatable to conservatives and will alienate Democratic base, at least this member of it.

6. Noooooooooooooooo!!!!

I would have a hard time voting for Kerry with Bayh on the ticket... of course, I will, because of ABB, but Bayh is such a whore.

He got a nice fat check from The Carlyle Group for his campaign, too, if I remember correctly.

I think the best v.p. would be Edwards. He's from the south, he's not from a rich family, and he's a great orator.

Bayh is an embarrassment to the legacy of his father.

7. Absolutely NOT!!!

Evan Bayh is almost as supportive of the GOP agenda as Zell Miller. He's a disgrace to Dem Hoosiers and his great father Birch Bayh.

[Design8edGrouch]

8. As a Hoosier, I can only reply

God forbid that Bayh have any position on the '04 team.

14. design8ted...

from one hoosier voter, to another... I agree! By the way, welcome to DU :hi:

9. No

There is something about that guy I don't like. Probably not his fault, but everytime I see him, I think that he is a Republican - probably the hair.

When he speaks, I realize at first he isn't, but, then if I listen a while - I think he is. He hedges.

I think he is where he is based upon his dad's career - sound familiar?

10. NO NO NO NO NO NO

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

If the Democratic Party wants to guarentee me voting third-party this November, they will put Bayh on the ticket.

[farmbo]

11. We already have a secretive, pro-war, big spending VP: Dick Cheney.

Bayh is just Dick Cheney with with hair.

[Nlighten1]

13. The fact that Kerry is even considering him makes me ill.

[Devil Dog Dem]

15. Say it isn't so!

Can't stand that guy.

That said, I will vote for anyone over Bush/Cheney.
