  • Virginia and most other Southern states have not voted for a Democratic President since 1964 and if you have 2 dems on the ticket that are viewed as progressive or moderate, unfortunately, they will not win.

  • Unfortunately, I do not believe your assessment about Bayh giving the ticket a bounce in swing states like Virginia or Ohio is correct. I am a native Virginian and still reside here today. Virginia voters are complicated like a few other Southern states. While Virginians will typically have no issue voting for dem Governors, US Senators and Congress, they seem to have a little of a litmus test for voting for dems for President and VP. The dem must be viewed as a conservative dem like Sam Nunn.

  • Bayh is also popular in Missouri, Kentucky and West Virginia, not that he'll guaranty a win in those states, but he'll definately win Ohio and Indianna for Obama.

  • Look at geography and polls, Bayh is from indiana which has about 12 electoral votes I believe and McCain and Obama are running even in that state

  • good, but y'all need a teleprompter.

  • While I like Bayh, I still am not sure if he can pull enough votes in red states to help flip a few of those red states into the blue column. I think that Sam Nunn or James Webb could best bring in the Reagan democratic voter.

  • I disagree, Bayh, like most Americans favored the war at the beginning, but opposes it knowing what it has done to our economy, our standing in the world, and low success, but the surge did work. (I give credit to the Iraqis for that though) I don't think voters could care that Bayh, supported the war at first. Bayh brings in maybe white working class voters and he was a popular Democrat in a red rust belt state. Him considered boring may balance out the wild Obama. Obama needs to settle down!!

  • At first I wanted Webb, but when he was out the race, I was all for Bayh, joining the party, joining the country, ending the war.
