ABC News' Eloise Harper Reports: Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton today received the endorsement of an Indiana Democrat often mentioned as a potential vice presidential pick: Sen. Evan Bayh.
Asked if Bayh was a possible choice for Vice President, Clinton (non)answered: "I think it goes without saying his record of public service is extraordinary – I have the highest of respect for him." She spoke about their experience together when President Clinton and Senator Bayh were both Governors, and also spoke about their recent trip to Iraq, as well as serving on the Senate Armed Services Committee together.
On news of the day, Clinton responded to Columbia University's decision allowing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak today and said that she condemned Ahmadinejad visiting ground zero during his visit to the UN General Assembly meeting in NY. Clinton also spoke about the UAW strike and stressed the need for presidential leadership with the auto industry.
Earlier in the event, Bayh introduced Clinton on stage, but first took a riff at Republican hopeful Rudy Giuliani and introduced his wife. Bayh said that having her there would reduce the risk of interruptions from cell phone calls.

Some of us in Indiana wish he were representing another state.

He might as well have endorsed Ted Strickland as VP too. That will probably be the Democratic ticket next year.

Hillary has the strength and experience to make real change for our country. Senator Evan Bayh's endorsement shows that Hillary can win in a general election even completely Red states. Its time we were respected around the world again and put an end the war in Iraq. If your ready for change, she's ready to lead.

When asked by George Stephanpolous (step-on-all-of-us) Sunday on "This Week" whether she would commit to withdrawing all U.S. troops from Iraq during a first term as president, Hillary gave a simple answer:
She did not know. But she used more than 225 words to say so, such as:
"You know, I'm not going to get into hypotheticals and make pledges, because I don't know what I'm going to inherit."

Where is the editor? Bayh is from Indiana, and Illinois only has one "o".
