Should Barack Obama have picked Evan Bayh as running mate?

[Sir Mohamed]

Wouldn't have given much benefit electorally. Maybe he could've helped Obama hold IN in 2012 but that's pretty much it.

I really doubt Obama could have kept the state. It may have been closer, but IN was gone by 2012 since 2008 was just a fluke. Furthermore, It's just natural a sitting VP loses "bound" to his or her homestate to some extent, since said officeholder becomes more of a national figure after 4 years, while a non-incumbent VP candidate is often more of a local figure.
