First Read reports that the campaign has issued a schedule to reporters via email that has them in Indiana on both Tuesday and Wednesday. Could this mean the Democratic nominee has decided to name Sen. Evan Bayh as his running mate?
I'd be ok with such a pick.
Bayh doesn't excite the masses the way Obama does - as a matter of fact his personality is so "un-Obama," at times you might confuse him with Carlton the door man from the old "Rhoda" sitcom. BUT...his resume is stellar: Governor of Indiana for eight years, currently in his second Senate term where he sits on the Armed Services and Intelligence committees, among others. Outside of Joe Biden, Bayh is probably the best suited to be one heartbeat away from the presidency.
Two residual pluses to picking Bayh: He might help deliver Indiana's 11 Electoral College votes (the state hasn't gone Democratic since 1964), and as a former high-profile Clinton supporter he might help heal any left over wounds from the drawn out and bitter primary contests.
