I'm going to go way out on a limb and call it. Barack Obama has chosen Evan Bayh as his running mate. According to NBC:
On the Veepwatch front, nothing's on Obama's schedule yet, but the traveling press registration e-mail has us flying to South Bend at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday and not leaving until 3:25 p.m. the next day.
It seems seems like an awfully long time to be in one place. (Where exactly is Evan Bayh?)
Bayh's home town is near Terre Haute, Ind. -- about four-hour drive from South Bend. But South Bend is a nice geographical point between Illinois and Ohio, and just south of the Michigan line
Obama communications stretegist Robert Gibbs says all that shoudl be taken from it is that "Indiana is competitive and winnable for us," he said.
Bayh is not my favorite, but then running mates very rarely ingite a party. However, he does bring some stregths to the ticket. He has been an executive on the state level, he comes from the Clinton wing of the party, appeals to small-town Democrats and independents who may not have yet warmed up to Obama and he is someone who can actually make his home state more competitive. Anyway, we'll see if I am right.
