Could it be Evan Bayh/Barack Obama

or Evan Bayh/Harold Ford for the Democratic candidates for President of the United States in 2008? Anyone have any thoughts for the prospect of these 2 possible tickets for President in 2008?

4. He is fairly moderate though

which could help us in the Midwest and Rocky Mountain States like Colorado and maybe New Mexico,Arkansas and Arizona. He is not my favorite either but I am tired of losing and I don't want Frist,Guiliani or Jeb Bush, Bayh has to be better than that bunch of NeoCons.

7. Sorry...I don't see the moderation

From what I've seen, he's to the right of center. We need someone that runs left.

As much as I hate to say it, FAR left and get the base going and behind them. Then, when moving to toward the center, still be left of center with a message that hits (they need to learn NLP to do this).

Mind you, I'm not saying "extreme left", but certainly "far left". Part of the problem is that we have sat back and whinced while the right has taken over to move the middle dot.

8. Yeah, to hell with Evan Bayh. He's a DINO

He is part of the problem, not the solution.

And seriously, who cares what the Democratic party does at this point? I don't unless they completely dismantle themselves and put someone at its head who can actually LEAD.

If they couldn't beat Bush, they couldn't beat anybody.

6. I really like Obama, but it's too soon!

He needs some time to make a track record. I realize a lot of people like him now, but you are talking about a national election here. Give him a break. let him show the rest of the country what he is.

10. Bayh is a red stater ...

... but he is about the MOST boring public speaker I've ever heard. At least Joe Lieberman has a mumbling drawl that keeps things interesting. Bayh is a robot!!!
