Bayh however is by far the best choice, his positions, his geographical location and his experience all fit perfectly... my only worry is he is slightly wooden but then again Kerry was far more staid and Bayh is far more folksy something Kerry could never be, added to which Bayh doesn't do things to look stupid like windsurfing or cycling in likera... he is the Dems best bet by far, he’s the only Democrat who would be the candidate the republican nominee would have to beat rather than vice versa… no other democrat can offer that.
I think Bayh would be a strong Democratic candidate in "red" states. He seems to be in touch with "Main Street" values
He'd get a larger piece of the moderate vote than Kerry, as well as greater support among Republicans and conservatives; while being centrist enough not to turn off liberals
He may need to raise his game in the Senate; though he does have a proven executive record as a two-term governor of Indiana - a job he would still hold if not for term limits
