Evan Bayh was with Barack Obama campaigning today in Indiana. Many people think that Bayh is high on the Obama VP list. This is how the Tom Raum describe Bayh’s experience:
 Bayh, a former two-term governor and son of former Sen. Birch Bayh, is a former supporter of Hillary Rodham Clinton, has executive experience and sits on the Senate Armed Services and Intelligence committees. Furthermore, Democrats view Indiana – which has not voted for a Democrat for president since 1964 – as competitive this year. (link)
Bayh has more experience that Obama, including executive experience. Bayh also has relavant experience from the Senate. He has always been thought of as a moderate and could easily work across party lines. Evan Bayh has everyting that Obama claims to have – experience and moderation.
If selected as his running mate, will Evan Bayh be a constant reminder of what Barack Obama lacks?

Bayh seems like a likable person, but you have to think why not Clinton? Surely, her 18 million voters must account for something. Plus, she’s already got the name and she’s already been in the public’s eye during this race. Time is important now and introducing someone new may not be the best idea. But, whoever ends up supplementing to Obama’s ticket, I’m sure it will be a good decision. Obama’s campaign has got some pretty smart people.
