If Bayh votes against Gonzales then he moves up in

Edited on Mon Jan-31-05 05:34 PM by quinnox

my book. This would be a second vote that I would like and be surprised by him, after the no vote for Condi. Bayh could show me something if he does it again. I might have to give him a fresh look for 2008 if he continues in this vein.

Go Bayh!

1. I am not real fond of him, but I live in Indiana ...

Indiana almost a complete right wing state. 7 of 9 congressmen are GOP. The state government is controlled by the GOP and now the governorship once again. Being GOP light in Indiana is usually not good enough. If you have a (D) by your name you usually lose real quick.

Bayh is only a Democrat because of his dad.

2. Hi, indianablue. Bayh's vote against Rice really did -

-- a number on me. I'm on life support from the shock alone.

If he votes against Gonzales, it will finish me off.

7. I doubt Bayh could pull Indiana if he was VP...

If he was Presidential nominee it is possible but Indiana is a total right wing state when it comes to voting for president. It hasn't voted Democratic for President since Lydon Johnson.

9. Hi, WI_Dem. Yes. Either of those would be an --

-- interesting challenge on the GOP demographic stronghold.

We really do have to pick up two or three of the red states. I think those two tickets would hold the blue states (including the ones Bush cheated in the 04 felony election fraud!).

3. It will certainly help him in my eyes

It won't make me a fan, but it will make me feel better about him. I was very surprised and pleased with the Rice vote and would love to be pleasantly surprised again.

8. I think a lot more will vote against Gonzales than voted against Rice,

who is after all a woman (double race card), so it's entirely possible.
