Maybe This Is Why Chris Cillizza Of "The Fix" Ranks Evan Bayh As #1 In His VP Rankings
This 1976 brochure from Evan Bayh's father, Birch Bayh, features the slogan "Yes, we can." Used by the elder Bayh in his 1976 campaign for president, you will also find this phrase used by Barack Obama, who will make his choice for vice president known soon.
Friday Veepstakes Line: Stark Choices
"As Barack Obama and John McCain enter the final stretch in selecting their respective running mates, each man is faced with a stark choice...
"1. Evan Bayh: The Indiana Senator sits atop of the Line this week because he represents the best combination of traits that Obama is looking for in a vice president. Bayh has rich experience both domestically and internationally, having served as two term governor in Indiana and now as a senator from the Hoosier State. But, picking Bayh also allows Obama to re-affirm the generational change argument; Bayh, at 52, would make the ticket look a lot like Clinton-Gore back in 1992. (Previous ranking: 2)"
