Obama/Bayh 08

Evan Bayh is my main man, y'all. And I called him being the VP pick since... well, since I heard he wasn't running for President. Looks like I just might be right. Pretty much all of the major news stations around the U.S. are talking it up. Obama was in Indiana today and called Bayh "one of our very best senators."

Fuck. Yes.

How is Bayh not the very best possible choice for VP? He's a centrist, which Obama needs to get over with. No one is going to be calling Evan Bayh "too liberal."

He's got serious experience, what with being the best Governor in Indiana history, and probably the best senator too. He knows the economy. He has foreign experience. Looking at his credentials, he's just perfect. He is exactly what Obama needs. He will guaranteed bring Indiana in the general election and probably Ohio too. This election is going to be decided by the Independents and Bayh will lasso those suckers in unlike anyone else. I bet there will be a few Republicans who might switch to an Obama/Bayh ticket too. McCain just isn't their guy.

A lot of people want Joe Biden to get the nomination. I guess he'd be alright, but alot of people kind of think he's a little off balance.

Then there are the Wesley Clark fans. He's got the military experience to battle McCain on, but I think they could use the "too liberal" attack on him.

And Jim Webb has his fans. But again, too off balanced. The dude admits to carrying a gun around with him from time to time. That'll turn off Obama's liberal supporters.

Bayh is the safe choice, but he's also the right choice.

Plus, he's young looking. People love young people. McCain will be 73 next year for fucks sake. Obama and Bayh both have young children. People love children.

Bayh is the man for the job.

Fuck yeah.
