Maybe they can get Tim Roemer to run for Evan Bayh's seat

1. He'd be a good choice

[Don Caballero]

2. As an Indiana resident I agree with this

He served the state well and served the country well when he was a member of the 9/11 Commission.

3. He'd be good but he is our current Ambassador to India and the filing deadline is Friday. Bayh

certainly didn't leave the Dems in Indiana much time. 4 days.

4. he'd be a great choice

5. Although Roemer voted against NAFTA, he's DLC

He served on the 9/11 whitewash commission, he's against a woman's right to choose, and he's gotten campaign funds from the likes of Richard Mellon Scaife. Can't the Democratic party do better than Tim fucking Roemer?

BTW, I voted for him three times - holding my nose tightly all the while. Why choose a candidate for a Senate seat whose politics are utterly odious to rank-and-file Democrats?

6. Well, he is anti-choice....not that it matters much anymore.

Even the DNC chair is anti-choice now.

He got very mad when he was running for chair as the choice of congress. He did not like being questioned on his views on women's rights.

7. (and we're talking Indiana)

pretty red territory

8. Yep, we need to be care in choosing candidates

Obama won Indiana just slightly:

9. And we need have no care in standing up for women's rights?

That bothers me.
