Bayh: Dems Are In Denial About Massachusetts Senate Race

(Why was this on the front page?)

I have officially lost respect for Evan Bayh.

If Evan Bayh really believes his own bullshit then Democrats are going to face a catastrophe in November.

this guy is a moron of epic proportions. What a ding dong...

By taking this tack Sen. Bayh is hoping that he won't be placed into any position where he has to make a choice between his constituents and his contributors. As a resident and voter in Indiana, I know exactly which side he'll choose - and it's not mine.
Regarding the state of the Senatorial campaign in Massachusetts: it certainly isn't a sign of the Democratic Party being too far to the "left" - rather, it's a sign of Coakley's sense of entitlement/complascency; had she actually gone out and campaigned after winning the nomination, Brown would be facing a double-digit loss. Instead, a senatorial seat that should have been, literally, an automatic retention, has become a "referendum" on HCIR and President Obama!
DNC rules, indeed! (a noun, not a verb)

I'm just curious if Mr. Bayh can explain exactly when giving billions to Wall St. and escalating foreign wars became left-wing policies.

Anecdotal, but all the Democrats who voted for Brown that I talked to said they voted for him because of the bailouts of banks and auto manufacturers, the failure to get out of Iraq, and the failure to jumpstart the economy (which would require a bigger, faster injection of federal dollars). Basically they voted for Brown because Obama hasn't been liberal enough. Strange, yes, but when you're voting with emotion and lodging a protest vote, I guess you don't think about things like that.

If the Democrats listen to Bayh's moronic "advice," they may as well just give up their majority right now.

This is why FOX matters. They inundate the vacuum with their talking points and eventually the message sinks in.

This is one of the first people barry wanted as a VP, It would have been President bluedog squared. When I hear bayh I'm hearing the President. Starting with his FISA vote through the last year, the President, while better than all of the republicans combined still leaves a lot to be desired and a lot of faith to recover. 'Change you believe in ' will be the scarcastic bumper sticker of the next election.

After the bucket of shit that got tossed in face face of all progressives a year ago, this turn of events is truly poetic justice. One hopes that Mr. and Mrs. Obama do not now anticipate a vacation on the Vineyard this summer. They can go to Plains, instead, commiserate with Billy's brother, open a hardware store and never return north.

WOW, from what the comments I am reading here this must be quite a bit of left of center site. Even the comments on the Boston Globe (clearly a left of center organization) had quite a bit of POSITIVE comments, that is, they see what the left is all about: a big spending, big government socialist movement. The left misread the results of the last elections. People were upset due to a bad economy. Bush was not a fiscally conservative president and what does Obama do? He comes in does things worst than Bush. And the common people does not stand for terrorists haven US citizen rights, they rather waterboard terrorists than to try them in regular courtroom.

Well, well, well, I actually had read few comments! The people in this side ARE IN DENIAL BIG TIME! They do not even know of the Gallup poll that shows the ideology of the American people as follows: 40% conservative, 20% liberal and 40% moderate. The left is clearly a minority but they think they are a majority.

It's whores like Bayh that are going to cause the Dem. losses. It's time for a purge of the party. The party needs to be an opposition party not Repug lite.
