Evan Bayh/Mark Warner.

I would focus on family values and promoting "responsible government." I would teach Bayh how to get excited over things, and highlight his moderate populist-leaning record. Concentrate on the suburbs - Bayh does very well in rural areas, but not excellently in the suburbs, although Indiananapolis has some pretty hardcore conservative suburbs.

States I'd target:

FLORIDA - Bayh wouldn't get much of a bounce here, except perhaps in the north. It might be hard, but it's definitely in reach.

OHIO - Bayh'd have the benefit against most candidates, but it would be worth a few visits.

VIRGINIA - Bayh would be a good candidate here. He could very will win if effort was put into this state.

NEW HAMPSHIRE - Bayh is not a great candidate for New Hampshire. He would have to work for it, too.

COLORADO - Depending on the opposition, this state could easily be in play.

INDIANA - Not sure how secure it would be. I am always surprised by how many electoral votes Indiana carries.

Don't forget Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota.
They might be able to win West Virginia, too.

I hate hearing Democrats acting like Bill Frist will be the nominee.

There is reason to even have a campaign if Bill Frist somehow wins the nomination (which he won't), unless you plan to run a left wing extremist like Hillary Clinton. Anyone else, and he will lose big.

Hillary Clinton is a left-wing extremist? Is this the same one that voted for war in Iraq? So, what do you call Kucinch?
