Bobby Jindal is Evan Bayh with a tan.

1. Let's not get all Berlusconi here...

But if you mean he's bland, yes, he's bland as hell.

[Drunken Irishman]

2. :P

Blander than white bread and water.

4. Sorry, I meant his personality.

5. Next time please be specific

because i was scratching my head thinking :wtf:

[LiberalFighter]

14. I agree a 100% percent. Can't get much of response from his staff in NE Indiana either.

[wuushew]

9. except he voted for the IWR

something that is never weighted in liberal/conservative rankings.

There are only three possibilities, all of them bad.

(A)He is a pro-war idiot

(B)He is gullible and easily frightened

(C)The citizens of Indiana support policy goals through violence and he is acting on their wishes.

[Juche]

12. Probably C

But by that logic pretty much every state fits your descriptions, about 77 senators voted for the IWR.

He is still better than Jindal, and the attitude that it has to be 'perfection or nothing' is not going to help the progressive movement. Kucinich was very pro-life for most of his career, but he shouldn't be purged from the progressive ranks for it.

[camera obscura]

6. yeah, well, for some Bayh was once the great Democratic hope too... barf!

I guess it's because they're both very "serious" people.

[LiberalFighter]

15. If his twin boys were about 6 or under instead of 13 everyone would be ga ga over him as a candidate

[progressiveforever]

7. Bobby Jindal is Satan

which I don't believe in.

[jefferson_dem]

8. I think you nailed it.

He's so "perfect", he's virtually soul-less in his delivery. Robotic. Sterile. Ack.

10. Evan Bayh is Handsome unlike Jindal

while Bayh comes off as boring bland etc he is still handsome. Jindal doesn't even have the first looks. the Republicans only look to him because he has dark skin. Obama has dark skin and he won so if they get someone with dark skin they will win again. that's how ignorant they are of everything.

Charlie Crist would do better among the minorities than Jindal. and it has nothing to do with Crist's tan.

[JeffR]

11. Au contraire!

In a one-on-one comparison, Bayh is scintillating, dazzling, damn near effervescent by comparison. The only such contest he's ever apt to win, BTW. If I were Evan Bayh, I'd fall on my knees and thank the gods that Bobby Jindal exists.

13. If only Evan was more like his father

sigh.
