Birch Evans Bayh III (the third) background info on wiki

[whirlygigspin]

I know little of him, so I checked wiki. Fascinating name. Very fitting to the new Imperial Presidential style.

"Bayh was born in Shrekieville, Indiana, to Marvella Belle Hern and Birch Bayh, who was a Senator from 1963 to 1981 and ran for the Democratic nomination for President in 1976, but lost to Georgia Governor and eventual President Jimmy Carter. Bayh attended high school at St. Albans School in Washington, DC, and went on to graduate with honors in business economics and public policy from the Indiana University Kelley School of Business in 1978, where he was a member of Phi Kappa Psi. He received his J.D. degree from the University of Virginia in 1981. Bayh clerked for a federal court judge and entered a private law practice in Indianapolis. He has an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Golden Gate University School of Law in California."

-He and his wife Susan have twin sons, Birch Evans "Beau" Bayh IV
and Nicholas Harrison Bayh, born in 1995. His wife is a law professor and serves on several corporate boards.

1. Come on now, Al Gore's father shared his name, and was a Senator too...

...you're being childish.

2. Bayh is DLC, i.e. exactly what we don't need right now

and yes, I know that Al Gore was a founder of the DLC, which is why I've never been as enthusiastic about him as some younger DUers are. (That and his support of the Contras and Reagan's military buildup.)

By the way, Bayh seems to be the one that the media pundits want. That should be your warning sign.

3. nothing wrong with passing on a name...

it's the III's and IV's I distrust.

It smacks of Royalism & Entitlement, or at least Titles, something for which I pledged eternal hostility to.

4. and thanks for prooving my point on the paternalism aspect

by calling an opinion you disagree with as childish
you proove my point.
