Bayh to become lobbyist for Chamber

Former Sen. Evan Bayh is adding a gig at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to his role as a Fox News commentator and his job at a law and lobbying firm.

Bayh, an Indiana Democrat, will join former George W. Bush chief of staff Andy Card on a bipartisan “road show,” in which they’re expected to “carry a bipartisan message on regulatory reform,” according to an internal memo sent from Chamber president and CEO Tom Donahue and first published by the Center for Public Integrity’s iWatch News on Tuesday.

The Chamber plans to officially announce Bayh’s involvement later this month as it launches the “road show,” which is in part aimed at getting Democrats to side with the Chamber in opposing what it sees as excessive regulation by the Obama administration.

if it means a liberal and a conservative, then this doesn't cut the mustard.

:sarcasm:

:grr:

Maybe Harold Ford came come with him.

I always thought he already was.

The BIG problem is that the Democratic Party has been co-opted by a hundred others just like him since the 80s.

The handful in the Progressive Caucus who still believe in the Traditional Democratic Values of FDR/LBJ are NOW branded as The Far/Fringe Left.
