Hello…Bayh? Update: Or not?
In addition the bumper sticker buzz, I received this e-mail from a reader:
“A good friend of mine just informed me that his good friend in IL has his hands deep into selling political T-shirts and he got word that Evan Bayh from Indiana will be his running mate for VP.”
Update: MSNBC says Bayh and Kaine are out.

Bah!
I heard Kaine. Good source in SPringfield (Hint, leading law enforcement). But printing of Bumper stickers is more than he gave me.
My best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with a girl who saw Evan Bayh pass out at 31 Flavors last night.
Well Drudge is running it. My man might be wrong.
This is too good to be true.
Bye Bye Obummer
The buzz in VA is Kaine. Nothing substantial, just the local media being important. Printing stickers cost someone cash, so this is probably closer, seeing how the announcement comes tomorrow. Or so says Obama, not sure I trust him somehow.
Anyone but Hillary, seeing her at the Convention will be bad enough…
actually, I may skip that part, neeeeeeeeevermind.
Bayh, oh whoopie! lol….. all the drama, alot of people will be let down…. boo hoo hoo…
Yeah, that tootie fruity flavor your friend was eating gave him a brain freeze mookie.
Bayh would actually be the best choice for Obama and the worst choice for McCain. Bayh is well-spoken, perceived as relatively moderate, and has little baggage. I still hope he picks Biden. That would be a slam dunk for McCain to win, lest of course, he himself picks someone horrible.
Isn’t it sad that the Presidential campaign is hinging on who they pick as VP? Didn’t we go through a whole voting process to select party nominees, and now many are basing their votes on the VP who is selected, not elected, to use a phrase appropriately?
PS – I like the Sixteen Candles reference. Too funny, but spot on…in the end I don’t care because America loses with either candidate IMHO.
Obama/Bayh
McCain/Straight
Bayh? Yawn.
Rather astute, bayou. Everyone waiting for the VP picks, hoping for someone they can vote for. We may end up waiting for cabinet picks!
good, boring as heck.
It won’t be Kaine. He’s too…frumpy and un-hip for democrat tastes. It could be Bayh, on Hillary’s advice. But I think all these guys are headfakes. I think we’re looking at Obama/Sebelius. And frankly, that’s the best pick he could make, if he wants to get the most out of the media. Not that he has to try hard for them…
I wonder how many text messages went out from the printers… lmao
ahahhahahah
The Odumbonites are so bummed they didn’t get the news first… Fools.
if it’s true that is.
Whats that!
the printer going under the bus…
My text messaging must be on the fritz. Drat.

Bayh the way, Obama is just Biden his time putting on Ayers until he Kaine pick Clinton, Wright?
Bayh is pretty safe but not problem free.
He ’s got some ’splainin’ to do about his lawyer wife.
Otherwise, he’s a moderate, boring, undistinguished Dem, with some experience on Armed Services Committee. Is that change we can believe in?
If it’s Obama/Sibelius would McCain counter with Michele Bachmann? Well of course not…just sayin’
Obama forgot to mention that the text announcement wouldn’t be free but would cost $5. Suckered his true believers again…
Om Bayh yah my lord, Om Bayh yah
To whichever fellow denizen of Michelleville who sent that: you have way too many friends, my firend. I’d prune a few off the vine
Or at least that was the advice given me by a friend of a friend who’s friend has a friend who knows somebody’s friend who is supposed to pretty wise on such matters. Or so they say.
Well, if this turns out to be true then the BHO camp can’t keep a secret very well… not what I am looking for in a Commander In Chief.
This is the kind of Change Obama is hoping for. He managed to get his wife’s hospital a big donation and she got a big promotion (unrelated I’m sure) but his Hope is that someday the two of them can work these bigger scams.
MagnumOpus, Good info but I seriously doubt McCain will want to open the door at going after wives.
Sixteen Candles? You mean Ferris Bueller? Anyone, Anyone? Bueller?
Actually he should be setting the pace by snapping her up for VP anyway, AloGuy. Bachmann would be an outstanding choice for the GOP ticket.
T-Bone
Your five key strokes ahead of me. Need to get some COFFEE.
Democrats don’t worry about seeming corrupt. That is a definite one-edged sword.
Kum-bahy-a!
The Secret Service will has security in place before any announcement takes place.
That will be our first clue as to who it is.
Give me 5 FamilyMan
I’d have to say that Sibelius has a huge potential to backfire with the very voter base that Obama would probably court with the choice… Catholics.
As a Catholic myself, it’s been news for a while that Sibelius’s bishop has ‘taken her to the woodshed’, so to speak, for her pro-abortion views. Then your Ordinary denies you communion until you shape up, Catholics do listen.
Obama would be further dividing a voting block he would certainly want whole.
That door has swung wide, John A. It’s trivial, but Senator Obama’s team has an ad about Mrs. McCain’s wealth and John McCain’s shoes. If I were Senator Obama, I would not want to have the spotlight on Michelle Obama. She is certainly a polarizing figure.
After all this speculation…
I won’t be surprised if we end up seeing Hillary and Romney end up as the VP choices – sort of the 1st runner-up traditional choices (except Romney was 2nd runner-up) it’s been the last few conventions. (sorry Huck)
Well – I guess it won’t be long till we find out for sure…
When you look at the other choices, this is the only one that doesn’t make Obambi look diminutive. It doesn’t make him look that good either. He, I mean they are toast. Billary supporters are livid at the dis of their hero.
ET #30, that’s my source. Just not SS. They handle the Presidential visits to the City working with the SS. They get a list of principles.
Actually, I’m pretty sure the reference was Ferris Bueller’s Day Off…
And Rush was going on today about how Hillary wasn’t even vetted, and how that’s going to pi$$ off all the Hillary supporters even more…
MChristian, hadn’t heard that ad. He’s stupid for going after Cindy. Heck he even said that he wouldn’t so that would make him a liar.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=obama+bayh+-2008+2007
take a look…it makes sense.
Sibelius died in1957
. And he was a very great composer.
But you are correct, Sebelius would divide Catholics to some extent. Unless she, like Kerry, undergoes scrutiny on her pro-choice views, as you’ve just explained. But all that might be ignored because she is a woman…which is the whole point of choosing her.
It could be dicey, John, but I don’t know of any allegations of faulty ethics re: Cindy McCain. Maybe she has a problem with flat beer…
Mookie: Thanks for quoting one of the best lines from one of the best (unimportant but hugely entertaining) movies of all time!
All this lenghty media hype is like the adolescent buzz surrounding which cheerleader the high school quarterback is going to ask out, complete with the “OMG look who it is!” text message. If it is Bayh, whatever. Biden would be more amusing, though. In any case, I wish he would JUST PICK THE DAMN VP ALREADY!
I was actually worried with the latest downturn in Obama’s popularity he might have picked Hillary.
Turns out she never even got vetted. That’s cold, not to mention dumb.
Ho hum. I figured Obama would not pick someone who would steal his Soul Glo.
Maybe this will allow the Repubs to gain back a red state seat in the senate.
MagnumOpus
Flat beer or not delivering it on time. Speaking of Beer, Cheers. 
what are the Kos kiddies saying about the Bayh possible pick right now? Buyer’s remorse?
Not needed. She’s been peeled and examined in the public eye for about 16 years. She is a wildcard pick, and she would turn off a lot of voters. On the other hand, she could actually help Obama win some votes(some women and some seniors). It’s a close call with her. Hopefully Obama got assurances from her that she’ll give a rousing pro-Obama convention speech and campaign like hell. Hopefully. The Clintons do have the power to cost Obama this election. We’ll see.
Evan Bayh- a fiscally conservative moderate democrat. He’s extremely safe. He has foreign policy, economic, and executive experience. He’s also boring and entirely too nice. The veep is supposed to be an attack dog. That’s why I prefer Biden, whose tough, experienced, and also can debate his butt off.
Bayh won’t cause any problems, but I’m not sure how much he’ll help. He’s a harmless, yet unhelpful, bore.IMHO
I don’t mean to sound harsh, and I’d love to have this classy man as my senator or governor. However, I’m looking to win a frickin election here.
Nothing as far as I could tell. They are discussing Liddy Dole’s plummeting support in NC.
Bayh seems like a decent fellow and is a safe pick, but he’s not the transcendent game-changer the Apostles were looking for the One to anoint.
…or the bumper stickers could just be a trick…
Hm…If Bayh can reduce taxes and make surplus budget like he successfully did as Indiana governor, then may be Obama/Bayh combination will be better than McCain on fiscal conservativeness!!
The picture I saw of the bumper sticker did seem a bit chintzy to me, so who knows, you may be right.
That bumber sticker looked crappy to me too. If that is the work that company produces and they break confidentiality as well, I would say Bayh to them.
Three little words that show that could never be: universal health care. Fiscal conservatism entails not creating billions of dollars in new government programs.
Just think what those would go for on Ebay if it is a trick.
Yankees have World Champions t-shirts too, but they won’t see the light of day.

With Sanfran Nan’s congress? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You must wake up now!
Breathlessly awaiting word…not.

The Obama campaign has spent a lot of time making this ordeal one big SHENANIGAN. If this is a fake, he better really blow everyone away with his choice. Sometimes things get built up so much, they never live up to the hype.
Possible Shockers(worth the hype):
Hillary
Gore
Powell(not gonna happen)
A dying Ted Kennedy
?
?
???What could possibly live up to the hype if they are making fake bumper stickers. I don’t understand this whole process. Just pick the the frickin veep.
There is only one way an Obama/Bayh bumper sticker could look…
http://www.dequalss.com/wp/2008/08/obama-bayh/
The t-shirts can go to some Third World country like PATRIOTS 19-0.
It is a ruse.
In 2004 the democrats pulled the same thing, convincing everybody it was Gephardt.
It will be Biden. Bayh is boring, and he is pro-life. Biden is an attack dog.
Often wrong, but never in doubt.
Respectfully,
eric aka the Tygrrrr Express
Cheers John!
Has CyberCipher’s collie weighed in on all the speculation yet?
Or maybe…you don’t think….? HAS anyone confirmed the collie’s schedule for tomorrow?
I just read a bio for Mr. Bayh on Drudge. Is it accurate?
He sounds better than most of the VP candidates linked to McCain.
It also shows that tax cuts and budget surpluses go hand in hand, even for Democrats. I can’t believe Obama would choose someone like that – unless he wants us to believe he is fiscally responsible until after the election…
Hillary hired the collie to chase after cars with Obama/Bayh stickers on em.
Results of Nov. REVEALED:
http://www.theonion.com/content/video/diebold_accidentally_leaks
I needed a laugh today>>>>>
I’m fairly sure Bayh is most certainly PRO-choice. He has voted to inform parents of minors about cross-statelines abortion. Otherwise, I’m pretty positive that Bayh is politically Pro/choice/abortion/infanticide…however anyone wants to put it.
The only pro-life candidate I know of is maybe Chuck Hagel or Sam Nunn.(I’m not sure about them). None of his leading candidates are pro-life. Everyone will correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure.
Maybe we’ll all get a huge surprise!
Obama/Pelosi ticket.
Is it possible???
blacktygrrrr #65, yeah, something just doesn’t smell right.
Well, “O”bama did say he wanted somebody to challenge his thinking. On what Bayh has done or believed in seems to be opposite of “O”bama’s. Maybe that’s what “O”bama wanted. Pro-life vs infantcide killer, tax cut vs tax-the-hell-out-of-them, etc..
Kokonut said:Well, “O”bama did say he wanted somebody to challenge his thinking.
Well, I could do that! Would y’all forgive me if I go for it???
Bayh will be terrible…he is for open borders and in-state tuition for illegals……Wait, am I thinking of Bayh or McCain?…Oh, never mind!
Aloha guy #20,
I used to live in Michele Bachman’s district (Woodbury/stillwater, MN). I never considered her a candidate for VP, but agree that she would be very good.
JM needs to shake it up with a fine, conservative, family-centered, conservative woman.
Being a Hoosier, I hope Bayh has more sense than to get on board with Obama’s sinking ship. He was a decent governor here a few years ago. He is (was) fairly conservative on fiscal matters and pretty moderate on a lot of social issues. I would not call him “pro-life” as stated by a poster earlier.
http://www.lifenews.com/nat4152.html
Anyway, I don’t think the VP adds that much to the policy of the administration as he serves to push the President’s agenda, not his own.
I would rather it be Biden. That would offer a lot more ammo for the GOP during the remainder of the campaign. Precisely why Bayh might be the one Obama picks to be his running mate.

It would only be a surprise if you have not read Revelations…
I’m with you there. The only one waiting with bated breath is the vp choice’s mother…
Alohaguy,
Obama wants everyone breathing heavily, almost orgasmic-like in heavy anticipation on who the veep will be. Kind of like opening up a Christmas present full of anticipation but you get this “WTF” look on your face after opening it.
hot air just reporting that it is not Bayh..
best guess?
‘Bama/Biden’..
Wait Aloha, I had missed that comment before. Are you serious? Michelle Bachman?
She’s the one that tried to get to third base with Bush at the State of the Union, right?
How about Sarah Palin, the Governor of Alaska for McCain’s VP. Conservative woman may get the Hillary vote and defuse the “first black”, “first woman” mantra that everyone seems so interested in.
She looks good too so that would defuse us having to look at old man McCain.
The collie can type, so I would assume any text message from him would be a red herring – throwing us a bone if you will.
Apparently MSNBC is reporting that Bayh and Kaine are NOT it.
This is stupid.
I have no doubt he’s getting more excited by the minute…
Did I miss that? I brought her up as a tit-for-tat (if you’ll excuse the expression) for Sibelius. I thought that was Misty May-Treanor.
I have a feeling 200,000 Germans will be up all night.
Breaking news! We still don’t know!
What a farce.
Well, if MSNBC is to believed on this, and Bayh and Kaine are out, then Biden I reckon it will be. Either him or Brad Pitt.
The Indiana legislature created a “rainy day” fund during Bayh’s tenure as governor of the state. He did work hard to make some budget cuts and produce a surplus. He did not do it alone. He had the assistance of a fairly moderate Democrat leadership and the GOP members of the Indiana legislature. That period of time did show that teamwork for the common good can produce positive results.
Side note: With Mitch Daniels at the helm, Indiana is one of the only states in the entire midwest to be operating in the black. The Democrats hate him because he has done exactly what he promised during his campaign a few years ago. Daniels is currently running for re-election. Jill Long-Thompson, the current Democrat gubanatorial candidate would probably be a shoe-in to replace Bayh if he gets the nod and they win the White House in November, and Long-Thompson loses in November against Daniels.
I’m still hoping for Scarlett Johansen.
It’s Dumpster Muffin!!!!
