1. And of course there will be some "reason" why he's just a Republican and his loss doesn't matter. NT

2. Wait! Many DUers - including a political scientist by trade - say he's no different than a Repub...

3. You can be confident that the Repub that gets Bayh's seat will not get those scores

Evan Bayh is not the incarnation of evil as so many on DU would like think. He is a right leaning Democrat that has had to get re-elected in a conservative state. It will be quite a while, if ever, before this state elects a "Progressive" Liberal.

4. I understand why politicians have to adapt to the political circumstances they are faced with, but

in Bayh's case, he's done far more than that. As a member and head of the DLC, he was working to push the entire democratic party to the right. That is a disservice to Democrats in specific and America in general.

5. It is important to know what the votes were during the time of rating.

Were these war votes??? do these votes illustrate how
supports or does not support the middle class???

Deficit hawk and upset because his commission to reform
SS, Medicare and Medicaid failed in the Senate. This
tells me more than some groups rating.

6. I could care less about any of those goddamn numbers
