Evan Bayh

[J. J.]

Is anyone watching this race?

I like him, but I'm wondering about his re-election prospects.

[J. J.]

The likely Republican nominee is the biggest joke of a congressman in Indiana history. I'm not concerned.

We're looking at what could be a very good GOP year.  I would keep an eye on this one.

[J. J.]

His father lost in the 1980 landslide.  This is also the state that gave us J. Danforth Quayle.

[J. J.]

I like Bayh, don't get me wrong.

Chris Mathews just mentioned a potential loss of his seat (I didn't plan that).

I'm looking at the political landscape.  Bayh was popular, but the times are changing.

I didn't hear motormouth's report on Bayh...but I'd just bet he was opining about a possible "what it" scenario -- like -- "What if Bayh decided to retire or take a cabinet job..."  In which case...yeah -- Bayh's seat definitely goes R.

IN is a traditionally Republican state and this is starting to look like it might be a very Republican year.

CM was talking about a bad Democratic year and mentioned Bayh as one that could go GOP in a bad year.

Three weeks ago, did you ever think about the serious possibility of MA electing a conservative Republican, in a seat that held by Ted Kennedy since before I was born?

[J. J.]

After seeing the Brown, Coakley and Boxer poll numbers, I don't see it as outrageous.

[J. J.]

Bayh will not win by as large a margin but it is still safe for him.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Coakley just jas a terrible campaign, and Boxer has a bad habit saying stupid things while a camera is on her. Bayh, at least the last I've heard, is still very popular.

Boxers has been re-elected at least twice; Coakley is running for possibly the most Democratic seat in the nation.  We don't have any polling on Bayh.

[J. J.]

Bayh will win. I mean, even Obama (a black liberal from Chicago) managed to win Indiana (the historical home of the KKK and racism in the North).

You mean Obama, from next door.  This is one of several to watch.

[J. J.]

Mathews keeps ion saying IN, this time that the Democrats could "easily lose."  Is he seeing something we're not?

[J. J.]

Primary him with a liberal. It's not like we need him for 60 votes any more. A liberal in Indiana can't be a longer shot than a teabagger in Massachusetts.

I like the guy, but the way things are going, I'm going to be a liberal by the fall. 

[J. J.]

Somebody just mentioned Mike Pence.

[J. J.]

Pence should run, actually.  I think it'd be the right move for him, he's clearly not particularly interested in staying static in the House.

Ironically, I'm not a big Pence fan and kinda like Bayh.

A lot of looked impregnable yesterday looks weak tonight.

[J. J.]

Yeah, every seat looks winnable now, 100 Republican senators in 2014?

Not quite, but maybe 63.     MA was never on my top tier list.

Bayh just said that they should not move forward on health care (he was joined by Webb).

Sorry, but it is not going to be another 1994 or 1980. Not enough to force Evan out

Mathews just put Bayh on the "endangered" list.

And for the record, I like Bayh and I am not a particular fan of Pence (one name mentioned).
