I don't know whether this is true or not and all I can find out about this Larry Methany is what Nick found from the Indystar forums, but if, this is true, and I stress if, then it evidently hasn't done Bayh NO harm in Indiana!
When Bayh ran for Secretary of State he was more or less known for being Birch Bayh's son and then he was elected governor in 1998 for his first term in a close contest. Assuming, this did happen then it can be assumed in happened in his first term since he stuck with the policy of the previous Orr (GOP) administration
Since then Bayh has won three (re-election as gov. and two for senate) state-wide elections by landslide margins over his GOP opponents on his own merits
