CNN: Wolf will interview "top" VP candidate Evan Bayh... PLEASE
I find this narrative ridiculous.

Why does the media assume the marshmallow man Bayh is a frontrunner? The campaign has been extremely tight lipped about his choice of candidates.

While Bayh may have been Clinton's first choice because Bayh would have no problem being VP in name only so that Bill could serve as pseudo VP, that doesn't automatically translate to a VP spot for Bayh in an Obama administration.

1. Again, if Indiana has a Repub gov, why is Bayh being considered?
I must be missing the CRUCIAL elements that he brings to the VP table.

3. He isn't. This is just MSM bullshit.
I highly doubt Obama would choose Evan Bayh as his VP. The media's just speculating on what they don't know.

2. He seems to be actively campaigning for it, though ...
He was on Fixed Noize this Sunday and gave a thoroughly
unconvincing "denial" about being vetted ... Despite his
"experience" he strikes me as the ultimate cypher, the
empty suit ... What would he bring to the ticket?

NUTHIN'.

4. CNN propagandizing yet again
People should realize that they're MUCH more insidious and effective than Fox.

6. Remember what Barack said,
something to the fact that any news of a VP candidate is only speculation. He will let us know when it is time to announce his VP. So, any news about a candidate, I tend not to believe.

7. The desperate corporate MSM is trying to force a DLC'er on Obama
Imagine how pissy they're going to be when Obama disappoints them.

8. He seems to be a posibility. He's definitely being vetted.
He has foreign policy and executive experience, so he's already more accomplished than 95% of the other options.

13. He is. He was a big proponent of the war, and one of the IWR cosponsors in 2002.

14. It won't and shouldn't be bayh because it would undercut Obama's message of judgment
Edited on Mon Jul-21-08 05:21 PM by cbc5g
Bayh supported the war in the beginning.
