inspired by Dave Hawk's suggestion:
i seriously doubt it -if Mark Warner is unlikely to carry his own state if he is the Democratic presidential nominee, how much more likely would Evan Bayh carry his?
Did you read the first post in this thread? His polling numbers are well above Warners in their respective states. Bayh's last name is a fixture in Indiana politics. Bayh has won 5 statewide elections. Warner has only won one. Bayh has held 3 different positions in Indiana. Warner has only held one. Dont hate on Bayh because you want Feingold.
I agree Nick - Bayh is much more revered among Hoosiers than Warner is among Virginians. While, they both have pretty solid centrist credentials, Bayh has the experience and appears somewhat 'Teflon' - much to the chagrin of the GOP
Frodo - wouldn't you find a Bayh/Feingold ticket attractive? I would. Bayh could take the fight and be competitive in red states; while, Feingold can rally the Democratic base
I think Bayh could potentially carry the Mid-West region, with the exception of Kentucky and even there, I dare say he'd run the GOP close
Bayh can connect with small town and rural voters in a way that Kerry couldn't. If Bayh won the nomination, there'd be a lot more blue counties in both red states and blue
Dave
assuming that the Democratic Party nominated Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh as its presidential nominee, and he in turn nominated Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold as his runnig mate, with the Republicans choosing South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford and Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, how would these two tickets fare against the other?
maps are desired, as always........
