Please Not Evan Bayh

Rumors abound that the Obama campaign is leaning to Evan Bayh as a veep choice.

Bayh was a cheerleader for the war. He’s not his dad. In fact, he’s not much.

Bayh is better than Dan Quail Quayle, but at this moment I’m having trouble coming up with another compliment. He makes Joe Biden look really good.

If we must have a Senator, how about Chris Dodd? He emerged from the campaign without much if anything in the way of delegates, but he ran a good clean fight and retired from the field with honor not just intact, but enhanced.

It's "Quayle", not "Quail".

One's a bird. The other's a bird brain. (Okay, cheap shot. So sue me. Wait. . . you're a lawyer. Forget I said anything. . .).

If he chooses Bayh he's screwed. Not a wise move. i doubt it will happen though.

I'm not going to like it much if he picks Biden or Kaine either. Biden supported the war and is a proven doofus generally. Kaine is really questionable on issues like reproductive rights.
