Bayh Not Running in ’08Posted on Dec 17, 2006

Thank God! Evan’s reasons for not running demonstrate why he will not make a good candidate.
His caution and his apparent concern only for himself (because running and losing might “look bad") are two big reasons why I am not a big fan of my fellow Hoosier.
Like the previous poster, I would love to see someone like Dennis Kucinich in the Oval Office. But unlike the previous poster, I realize Dennis is currently a congressman, not a senator.
Evan Bayh, has started sounding more like an actual Democrat (rather than a corporate lobbyist as has been his history) in the past year, but he still hasn’t convinced me he’s had any kind of change of heart. He definitely needs a weather vane to know which way the wind blows.
His reasons for not running for president show that nothing has really changed with this self-serving Republicrat.

Oh yes! We need another star in the White House. Let’s all be sure to vote on the basis of how pretty or how well the candidate can schmooze.
We might even fall for the single issue candidate. Gay marriage is a good one, or how about Stem cell research? Wooooh! Serious issues to be sure!
Meanwhile the world of survival (Global warming, American christian driven Imperialism and the disemination of wealth and resources are posited as minor issues. Get your heads out of your...your...well anyway Please!
God/Allah/Buddha/enter your God here, forbid we get a President who actually reads and thinks for him/herself. Senator Kucinich, with years of experience isn’t pretty, and he doesn’t know many jokes, but he gets to the guts of issues the old fashioned way, he studies! He also sounds like he understands the principle of Constituency leadership.
He’s my next hope.
