Evan Bayh is the biggest moderate hero of all time, and Obama didn't want to be outshined.

When Obama chose a veep, he was looking for an elder statesmen who would help him on the experience front.  At the same time, he was worried about Pennsylvania.  Biden, who could help him the Philadelphia suburbs, proved to be the ideal candidate.  He also contrasts well with the arrogant, aloof, professorial Obama.
