Bayh is up in 2010.

Bayh- 2010

kyl-lincoln, not kyl-lieberman, in the title

Buck Fayh with a rusty spanner.
Seriously. But first, take away his health insurance.

Like bend says. Nice slip.

Farmers care about the estate tax. Indiana has them. Lots of attacks on Bayh from this blog. He's brave to go against the administration -- and he has the hair to do it.

...before he'd really started fundraising for reelection), full name recognition, solid approval ratings, and is running in a state that Barack Obama won.

Perhaps the reason he has solid approval ratings in this still rather conservative state is that it's difficult to portray him as a dirty socialist because he frequently casts conservative votes. Perhaps I'm overly cynical, but I think a lot of the behavior of politicians is a simple function of their perceptions as to what helps them win reelection. And let's not forget, the progressive coalition that handed the state to Obama is not likely to be as big a percentage of the electorate in a midterm year. If this turns out to be mostly just posturing, and Bayh's behavior doesn't actually impede the president's agenda, I don't see the big harm. But if his actions prevent climate or healthcare legislation from passing (or makes the eventual enacted legislation significantly inferior) then I fervently hope he faces major primary opposition for the rest of his career.

This happens every eight years, guys. Evan Bayh is John McCain. Evan Bayh is Bob Kerrey. There's ALWAYS a 'centrist' (read: Washington establishment) senator from the President's own party who chooses to act like a grandstanding tool. This happens over and over again and it is chiefy attributable to the fact that senators are placed in a political and social environment that conditions them to be awful people.

Don't worry; wait a few years and Bayh will scoot towards the centre, just like McCain did, because he wants to be President some day.

His Daddy would be ashamed of him

Judges must recuse themselves from cases where they have a vested interest (or often even an appearance of a conflict), and yet Bayh can vote for legislation that could directly result in a several million dollar windfall to his estate. That seems wrong to me. I'm getting into fantasy land here, but shouldn't Congress have some sort of procedure for dealing with such blatant conflicts? Perhaps letting the House delegation from the state, or another mechanism decide that Senator's vote?

Re: Indiana farmers being concerned about the estate tax. I doubt that many will be above the exemption limit, but if they are, I think that most people would be fine with exemptions for independent, working farmers (but not, of course, for the Hiltons to stash wealth in farms to avoid the tax). Back in 2001, David Kay Johnston went looking for farms that had been destroyed by the estate tax and couldn't find a single one: http://www.responsiblewealth.org/press/rwnews/2001/estate_tax_nyt_farms.html

A Democrat who doesn't toe the liberal party line and actually votes independently with his principles?

No wonder you leftists are bad-mouthing the Senator from Indiana. Instead of being berated, he should be commended for choosing country over party.

-A

Because he's scum? Do I win? Do I?
Death to Bayh. Now.

While your correcting yourself didn't he vote for Kyle Lincoln not "KYL-LIEBERMAN?"

Look I hate Lieberman too, but this bill was cosponsored by Senator "Waltons what Waltons. You mean like John Boy ? I don't even know any Waltons"

Blanche "I have always relied on the kindness of strangers" Lambert Lincoln

stop wondering:
check out sly comment by ana marie cox on rachel's show fri 4/3. "...for him 2 is exciting....there's a reason he dropped out of the pres race so early..."
have to watch it to get the idea.
But, something akin to he's weird, don't worry about him.

I noticed that both of the Democratic senators from Washington state voted yes on Kyl-Lincoln. I forget, how many Microsoft millionaires are there?

As predicted, Bayh will be bitch slapped by the democratic establishment and their call girls like ana marie cox and olbermann. I'm waiting to see what they have on him. Bob F. hinted at something, but I don't get it. Unless he whimpers and bends over, whatever they have on him will make it into the mainstream.

Hot pic of hot guy.

The real reason is that he's a douche.

He is damn hot. Put a picture of him beside Barney Frank, Jerry Nadler, Barbara Mikulski, Henry Waxman, and Harry Reid, and you tell me who you gonna follow? His late parents would actually be proud of him.

re: his "late" parents. Bayh's father is still living.

Evan Bayh isn't a "centrist" Democrat. He's a leftist Republican. He really needs to switch party affiliation along with Joe Lieberman.

Here's what you don't know about Bayh:

As governor of Indiana, he balanced the budget every year of his administration without raising taxes. In fact, he cut taxes during his time in the governor's mansion.

There is no conflict between cutting taxes and reducing the deficit. Bayh thinks we spend too much, not that we tax too little. There's nothing illogical or inconsistent about this view, especially when Bayh actually governed that way.

BTW, Bill Richardson and Gary Locke, two guys who Obama wanted in his administration, also balanced budget after budget while cutting taxes.

It can be done. Just because Republicans are morons about how they go about fiscal policy doesn't mean that tax cutting and spending restraint isn't a good idea. It just means that only Democrats are good at it.

Not to slag Ezra too much, but he really should look into the records of the more well-regarded Democratic governors, like Howard Dean, Phil Bresesen, Bob Graham, and of course Bayh, Locke, and Richardson. Opposing big deficits while favoring tax cuts is not hypocritical, just as favoring some spending increases while worrying about deficits isn't hypocritical. It's the results that count, and Bayh sees a lot of things in this bloated budget that he doesn't like. I agree with him. We don't need double digit increases across the board in every program. Obama pledged to go line by line and eliminate all the programs that weren't working. It would be nice if he'd do that BEFORE increasing every line item in the budget by 10%.

Parker's piece is mostly about how silly she thinks it is for liberals to organize a boycott of Whole Foods Market, since the company and its CEO are supposed to be environmental heroes and even health heroes according to Parker. But the CEO, John Mackey, is hard-line anti-union and anti-health-care reform, so opposition to him on economic grounds is far from silly. This is probably supposed to be a counter-example to birthers and town-hall brownshirts, who are insane, not silly.
