Senator hails chief reasons for making run (Evan Bayh) [View All]

I am not a Bayh fan, but I did vote for him twice when he ran for Governor, and the first time he ran for the US Senate.

Compared to his GOP predecessor in the Governor's mansion, Bayh was a decent governor.

Q&A WITH EVAN BAYH

Senator hails chief reasons for making run
He says experience as governor would serve him well as president

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana has been raising money, building a campaign team and wooing Democrats in Iowa and New Hampshire as he prepares for a potential 2008 bid for the presidency.

Monday, Bayh steps down as chairman of the Democratic Leadership Council, a centrist Democratic group that was a vehicle for Bill Clinton's 1992 campaign.

Bayh sat down with The Indianapolis Star to talk about his potential run, the state of the Democratic Party and what he picked up from the movie "Zoolander."
