But no more. As you say, Scott, some high notes now and then but mostly he just falls flat. Dems will be out for blood now, so I hope he has a strategy in place that's been well thought out. <BR/><BR/>Donny is surely right that Bayh's seen the writing on the wall re public sentiment, and is trying to get out Jon S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14840074248344452572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-22272936430352017452009-03-04T10:15:00.000-08:002009-03-04T10:15:00.000-08:00This is so phony.

I once heard him speak to a group at Art Laffer's house (I think Bayh's wife was a student of Laffer's many years ago) and was impressed. But he has since disappointed me too often.Scott Grannishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14028519647946868684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-56634208504395710002009-03-04T09:53:00.000-08:002009-03-04T09:53:00.000-08:00It's nice that Bayh has had a change of heart, but...It's nice that Bayh has had a change of heart, but where was he two weeks ago when he voted for the bill he now claims is horrible?
