Who does Sen. Evan Bayh, D-IN., blame for China move?
Magnequench was a Valparaiso, IN. factory that moved to China. Senator Clinton has been going around the state talking about the jobs that were lost when this company moved.


What Clinton doesn't tell voters is that Magnequench was originally sold to Chinese interests during her husband's administration, which okayed the move despite concerns about national security and eventual job loss. Experts say the Chinese acquired the "technical sophistication" that created the magnets long before George W. Bush took office.

Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind,, Clinton's top surrogate in the state, often joins her on the stump in bashing the president for allowing Magnequench to move abroad. What Bayh doesn't tell voters these days is that he has blamed the company's moving on a 1995 decision made by Clinton's husband's administration.

Andy Albers, a former vice president of Magnequench, said he received a phone call from Clinton's campaign to go over key details of Clinton's Valparaiso event before it happened on April 12.

"I told them all the truth, but it didn't go anywhere," Albers told ABC News. "Evan Bayh and Hillary Clinton are living in some false reality here, making all these false accusations." {emphasis mine}

2. Don't you know? Evan Bayh is the Democratic version of Dan Quayle.
Some of us don't even think that he is the biological son of the great Birch Bayh, who was among the first US Senators to oppose Lyndon Johnson and the Vietnan War at a time when it was unpopular to do so. You don't see Evan displaying any evidence of political courage and backbone, do you?
