Sirota a makes good case against Bayh for VP
"The son of Sen. Birch Bayh, Evan has no discernible political skills (unless "skills" include being the cure for insomnia and having a famous last name). In the decade since this prince claimed his daddy's Senate seat, he has amassed not a single significant accomplishment — a miraculous achievement, even by Washington's do-nothing standards. If he is known at all, it is for heading a business front group called the Democratic Leadership Council, using that position to rake in corporate campaign contributions and then paying back the money with votes."

1. Ouch. I do love David Sirota.

I am inclined to think it won't be Biden anyway. Obama's campaign gives the vibe they won't be picking a Senator and even though Biden does talk the good FP talk, he has a lot of negatives.

2. Thank you, Sirota. I've long dreaded Bayh as VP. I'll never forget his uselessness re: Bush/Iraq. nt
