Although there are some positions he has taken that have worried me, to say the least, and of course, there's always the chance for someone new to come along, I still wouldn't entirely discount Evan Bayh. There would definitely be a portion of the base that would be underwhelmed by this, and he isn't always the most animated speaker, but he has had his moments (I think his speech at last year's DNC was actually about the most animated I've ever seen him), and I think he can still redeem himself in the eyes of some Democrats (there are ones that are much more worrisome, such as Oklahoma Congressman Dan Boren). I just thought that I'd throw his name out there for the heck of it. (The fact that Bill Clinton was once quoted as saying he hoped to vote for Bayh to be President someday probably wouldn't hurt, either) And another name that hasn't been mentioned here yet is Stephanie Herseth Sandlin. She would probably have been in a better position had she decided to try for the governor's seat or the Senate, but still, you never know. Both Bayh and Sandlin, however, would, as one poster said about Hagan from NC, have to do some adjusting for the primaries.
