"Disillusioned with President Bush's handling of the war, the economy and immigration, nearly half of likely voters in Indiana appear poised to buck 40 years of tradition and vote for a Democratic presidential ticket -- if it includes Sen. Evan Bayh," according to a new Indianapolis Star-WTHR poll.
The poll "revealed a growing sense of pessimism, with nearly three-quarters saying the nation is headed in the wrong direction and 28 percent approving of George W. Bush's performance as president."

Snicker!
I figure Hitlery will pick Bayh to bring a swing state over. She’s not going to select any of the presidential candidates, that’s for sure.
Being blue has worked so well for New Orleans and Detroit.
Damn! Nevada, Colorado, Virginia, Ohio, now Indiana! Every few weeks a new state gets added to the “could turn blue/is turning blue” list.
LOL, Bob Dole won by a landslide. Give me a break.
LOL, I don’t think she could win IN even if Bayh was on the ticket, doubt he will be.
But I have heard this as well...you don’t think Reconquista Richardson has a shot?
Believe it. Bayh could run on a platform of global communism and hoosiers would vote for him in a landslide. I live here. I know.
I don’t approve much of W’s job as President, but it don’t mean I’m going to vote for a Dhimicrat.
They went to Iraq together and upon their return, he confirmed that he had no interest in running for President. I think that the deal has already been done that he’s her running mate. However, Indiana may be a more difficult swing to make than she thinks, especially after the Indy mayor race. They may love their native son less than they hate her.
But, if the conservatives go to the polls things CAN change!
Voter unrest fueled by this summer’s property and income tax increases, combined with significant Democratic defections, helped sweep Republican Greg Ballard into office.
Ballard’s campaign and image — an everyman political outsider with an impressive military pedigree — also played well in Decatur, Perry and Franklin townships, which form the southern third of the county. The preliminary figures show he won every precinct in Decatur and Franklin, and all but two or three in Perry, carrying most of the precincts in those three townships with 60 percent or more of the vote.
This is a big dent in the confidence of Democrats who are hoping for big victories in Congress in upcoming elections. Republicans are finally showing that they’re prepare to fight, and win, in upcoming elections. People are simply fed up with higher taxes and Indianapolis made their voices heard at the ballot box.

No, the tort bar is about to take on the food industry and Don Diego is nowhere near the salad bar.
What about Vilsack? Juan McCain? Ron Paul?
From most serious to least...
If conservatives show up on election day this won’t happen.
Bayh, Bayh!
:-)
So, do Hoosiers think that Democrats are going to handle the war, the economy and immigration better than Bush. In each way that Bush has mishandled all three, he’s acted more like a Democrat than a Republican.
Yes, all of our elections here in Michigan have been decided by Detroit! (:~
Been here in Michigan for 55 years!
So folks in Indiana think Bush is running in ‘08?
