The New Vernacular » Bayh drops out of running for 2008

Saturday, December 16th, 2006 at 3:59 pm | In Politics |

Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana has announced he won’t be running for president in 2008. I’m a little surprised since Bayh has been working hard over the last couple years to establish himself as a moderate voice in the Democratic field. I’m guessing his decision was partly prompted by all the attention Barack Obama has been getting lately, but Obama hasn’t even announced whether or not he will run.

The way things stand now, I only see three people having a real shot at the Democratic nomination: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards. Each has decent to excellent name recognition and the resources needed to win. Clinton is obviously way ahead in the money race and has the best network of political operatives, but Obama and Edwards have the advantage of young, idealistic charisma that seems to be lacking in so many politicians these days.

We shouldn’t forget other Democrats who have expressed interest, but they’ll have a rough road ahead. The other Democratic contenders left are: Kucinich, Kerry, Richardson, Clark, Vilsack, Biden, and Dodd.

A couple months ago, I had thought Warner and Bayh would be two of the last to drop out of the race. Maybe they know something we don’t.
