1. Haha... You're not from Indiana are you?
Bayh would have probably skated to re-election. The liberal vote doesn't really come into play here.

4. a lot! in a few very concentrated, but small relative to the rest of the state, areas :D
if you are in Bloomington.... there are a lot of liberals! But Bloomington does not populate the state. Heck Bloomington can't even keep Baron Hill on the left-of-center reservation.

9. Yeah, Bloomington, Gary...
... A few areas of Indy and Terre Haute, and a couple neighborhoods in Evansville. That's about it for Indiana's liberal population.

10. I'm one. And wasn't going to vote for him this time.
Or any other candidate for that election. But I was also expecting him to win re-election.

6. Nonsense.
This is the same delusion that made the tea baggers and far lefties think they were responsible for Scott Brown.

8. You think he gives a rat's ass what people like us think?
Besides, he was up by 20 points when he quit.
