I have a hunch that the nominee may be Evan Bayh, and I don't know that much about him. I hear that he is moderate, but I would be lying if I said that I trust any Dem (or most Republicans for that matter) to show their true colors.. And, after Kerry's history not affecting his popularity as much as it should, I fear that ANYONE the dems believe would win, no matter their core beliefs, will be nominated.
Having said that, I think they do have doubts about Hillary because of her and Bill's baggage.
Does anyone know anything about Evan Bayh?
He's very popular in his home state of Indiana. The Bayh name is a dynasty there. He's the son of Birch Bayh who was also a Senator for Indiana. Evan was a two term governor who did not raise taxes (maybe the only one in the nation for those eight years). His ACU rating as a Senator is around 20 which isn't moderate, except for a Dem. He appears moderate and has a good looking family and is generally regarded as Mr. Clean. No Clinton like baggage here.
He's probably the best guy they can nominate. He was snubbed for the veep pick in 2000 because he votes against partial birth abortion.
He'd never get out of the primaries..
