Website Suggests Obama-Bayh Ticket
August 01, 2008 11:27 AM
ABC News' Matt Jaffe and Rick Klein report: Type ObamaBayh08.com into your web browser. Where do you think it'll take you? Go ahead, do it.
Bet you didn't expect to suddenly be staring at the Democratic National Committee's official website.
Hmm. What about other potential running mates? Let's try ObamaKaine08.com. Nope, doesn't take you to the DNC site.
Maybe ObamaBiden08.com? Nothing doing.
ObamaSebelius08.com? Strike three.
So, in the midst of the current vice-presidential speculation, is it possible that we may have just stumbled upon a clue that Barack Obama's eventual Democratic running mate in 2008 will be none other than Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh?
Bayh, of course, is rumored to be one of the leading contenders for Obama's vice-presidential slot. So is this an unexpected Internet hint about the hotly-debated missing half of Obama's ticket?
Not so fast, warns a DNC official, who says that the connection is simply the result of someone out in Internet land buying the domain name and directing it to the DNC site. Let there be no doubt: ObamaBayh08.com is in no way an official DNC site.
Oh well, it would've been too easy. But if nothing else, fodder for the rumor mill...

Is Bayh foolish enough to do that?

Evan Bayh would be a good choice and one that John Kerry would be running for re-election with right now.
Posted by: Original Pechanga | Aug 1, 2008 11:45:31 AM
Does Evan Bayh have the same radical beliefs?
Barack Obama was on the cover of Trumpet magazine (produced by his longtime pastor, Rev. Wright) along with Rev. Wright and Louis Farrakhan some time back. The magazine reads that America was guilty of genocide in Africa, condemns the 4th of July, rejects American patriotism, says that America is a “diaspora” for blacks etc., etc. etc. Obama never saw or read a copy of the magazine “with his picture on the cover” and no one gave him a copy of the magazine with his picture on the cover to see or read. He knows nothing about the philosophy of his church that he attended for some 20 years. He was “shocked” to learn pastor’s political radicalism.
Posted by: Mike | Aug 1, 2008 11:45:49 AM
I hope it not Evan Bayh. I don't see what votes he brings to the ticket.
Posted by: Vanessa | Aug 1, 2008 11:46:09 AM
Matt Jaffee and Tim Klein, you guys are good reporters, and I would have thought you had done your research before posting your blog entry.
Your most recent blog entry has already been written -- almost verbatim. Its old news…

Way to rip off Wonkette with this story. They published the same story back on June 25th.
Posted by: Liz | Aug 1, 2008 12:04:34 PM
so bayh is going to become the attakc dog he is going to need in the next three months as this gets nasty?
can you say...here come the gaffes.
I love that people complain that Biden would go put his foot in his mouth with gaffes when he is kind of innocuated from it isn't he...kind of like McCain.
Biden gaffes because he is always the one fighting for stuff.
Can you imagine what is going to happen if he picks a candidate like Bayh and/or Sebelius and/or Kaine...
and as we see this election is about to get messy...
a candidate who is not use to talking all the time and fighting and attacking and all the rest...starts doing that...here come the gaffes...
and if Biden gaffed ...what would happen...like McCain we would chalk it up to the "guy who gaffes" and he would be taken to task and then he would get back to work and be able to easily get through the dealing with the gaffe fallout...
now imagine the first time Bayh gaffes... tell me the news cycle isn't going to be 10x as long.
This is stupid... Bayh said some not so nice things about obama...you know when he picked a side.
Biden has shown for months that he gets things done...he seems to be literally the only one in congress that gets things done lately.
so yeah he could stay there and get things done...or as a number of people have said now be the VP and liasion/working branch that gets the things through congress...and makes the country feel something familair as obama is trying to make these changes.
This is the stupidest decision process ever if he doesn't pick Biden ...
I think they learned atleast that Kaine would be atrocious.
But mark my words...you heard it here first...he needs an attack dog...so if he picks Bayh...
ooohhh the gaffes that will come when Bayh has to act like something he is not.
and the reaction that will be ugh...
Not to mention a sure win in the debates vs. a maybe win in the debates.
and assurances with blue collar voters...
again this is all just stupid...one selection hands him an overwhelming difference in how people view his judgement.
and then pick Clinton as Sec of Sate or announce how she is an integral part of the team with Edwards as AG...
a team of rivals.

I had a sneaking suspicion. I have a Google Alert set up on Bayh and it's had an insane amount of activity over the past two weeks. I would be surprised. He's a Hillary go through-and-through. We know she's set to make her comeback in 2012 so this leaves me scratching my head.

Bayh supported Hillary in the primary and voted for the Iraq war resolution in 2002. He is nearly the antithesis of what Obama's campaign during the primary. Except for that tiny issue as an Obama problem, he is a good choice for the DNC. He has alot more experience and seems more stable than Obama.

Who cares? The Obamatrain is crashing. The guy peaked way too soon.
Posted by: Aaron Burr | Aug 1, 2008 1:25:04 PM
I was so pissed off when Obama used the racist thing against Hillary. She never said anything even slightly racist, and he used the left-wing press to make her out as some kind of Grand Dragon of the KKK. My mom predicted that he’d use the same strategy against McCain, and I said no, his campaign wasn’t that stupid. They’d attack him on his age, etc. but they wouldn’t go the racist route. It would be too stupid. I guess I learned my lesson – Big Mama’s always right!
Posted by: Peggy Burris, Southern Illinois | Aug 1, 2008 1:25:14 PM
I really hope it's Evan Bayh. Obama needs someone with executive and foreign policy experience, looks good with him, and can play well to voters in the Rust Belt and older white voters.
Bayh fits all these criteria and was born to be Vice President. And he is not, I repeat NOT, a conservative Democrat. He is a centrist much in the tradition of the Bill Clinton and Al Gore of 1992.
And he isn't really boring or bland, but just appears that way when compared side-by-side with Barack Obama.
Obama doesn't need an attack dog. He needs someone who is expericenced in good governance.
Posted by: Jake S | Aug 1, 2008 1:25:30 PM
I'm from Edwardsville, Illinois, and I'm very familiar with Evan Bayh. He's popular, and a good governor. However, having him on the ticket will not convince me to vote for Obama. This will be my first time ever not voting for the Democratic nominee for President. I'm proud to say that I did NOT vote for Nixon, Reagon, Bush 1 or the idiot currently in office. I've ALWAYS voted for the Democrat. I just can't vote for Obama. I was going to sit out the election, but since it looks like it's gonig to be close, I'm going to hold my nose and vote for McCain. I may throw up afterwards, but I'm going to do it. The alternative is a black racist who has the gall to lecture the rest of the country on our own racism. And to top that off, he accuses the McCain campaign of being racists BEFORE they even did or said anything racist. Isn't this the kind of crap he pulled with Clinton?

if hillary is disrespected again, and some dumb white guy is chosen, im voting mccain.
Posted by: ron | Aug 1, 2008 1:41:39 PM
Obama has peaked and now is in a downward free fall. Frankly I could care less he wont get my vote! I'll give Mac 1 term in office and then it's HILLARY all the way in 2012.....
Posted by: Cas | Aug 1, 2008 1:47:34 PM
If he puts Hillary Clinton on the ticket, I'll vote for McCain.
Posted by: Joey | Aug 1, 2008 1:50:18 PM
If you people digging in the hinterlands for obscure news, why not dig into the beer name "Cristal", and find out why a ranking member of the Senate Commerce committee, McCain, has had absolutely zero to say about the purchase of Budweiser by InBev, and the company's association with the Communist Cuban government's take over of this business associate of InBev's. Seems strange that one who has been a staunch advocate against trade with Cuba has little or nothing to say about this deal. Anyone think the fact that McCain stands to be enriched by several million's may have something to do with his silence?
Posted by: devilkev | Aug 1, 2008 1:50:38 PM
Bayh --- as boring as Obama is stupid.
Ok, gotta go check the tire pressure on my cars. Boy, am I saving gas.
Yes sir, if you like $4/gallon gas, you will love Obama and the Dems.
Posted by: Carl | Aug 1, 2008 1:52:47 PM
The Hillarybots just won't give it up. You people must have dark-lit altars to the Clintons in your basements. If she is on the ticket, I won't be voting for it. The only thing creepier than the Clinton family are the people that worship them like a cult of Clintonistas.
Posted by: Joey | Aug 1, 2008 1:56:02 PM
Actually Bayh would probably be the best pick for Obama, if he doesn't want Hillary and/or Hillary doesn't want to be on the ticket. I don't know if he'd help Obama much but he wouldn't hurt him and he wouldn't show up Obama too much. I think McCain is going to pick a conservative woman as his VP. It would be the smartest thing he could do.
Posted by: Susan | Aug 1, 2008 2:08:23 PM
Mr. Chan probably only did this in the event that it is an Obama/Bayh ticket, he could "sell" the domain name and make lots of $$$. I don't think this is anything else. Chan probably has others too .
Posted by: Cheetah Man | Aug 1, 2008 2:12:09 PM
Far astray from his usual level headed demeanor, Obama is teeming on racial issues to strike out at Hillary and now John. I don't believe either is racist and the dollar bill comments have exposed a major issue with the Dem's candidate.
Posted by: 0140446109 | Aug 1, 2008 2:13:57 PM
Mariann- Stop complaining. I'm as aware of that as I am of Bill Clinton avoiding fighting in Vietnam just like Bush, Quayle, Gephardt, and Cheney. Hillary spun a yarn about 'visiting a recruiter and being denied'. They're all cowards. Hillary voted to invade Iraq- that's poor enough judgement for me. Keep her and her husband away from the switches. They're as bad as the Bushes and Cheneys.
Posted by: Joey | Aug 1, 2008 2:15:36 PM
Bayh would be a very interesting pick, wuold swing Indiana towards the Dems, and that along with Virginia would start to bring 270 into range. (Not that I think the Dems should be necesarilly aiming only for 270 this year.) I think he could be a Gore-a-like for Obama, not necesarilly bringing excitement but Obama's ticket doesn't need that, he owuld though bring a bit of gravitas and executive experience.

Matt Jaffe and Rick Klein have just shown us what terrible reporters they are. They put this sensationalist garbage on a "blog" so they dont have to do any actual reporting or fact checking. Using whois, the owner of this domain is listed, some guy who has nothing to do with the DNC or the Obama campaign. Shame on ABC for publishing this junk and calling it news. It took me 30 seconds to find out this information.

Joey, you would be in the minority. Clinton carried many big states that Obama will need come Nov. If picking Clinton as VP will win the White House, then so be it. Maybe the DNC should listen to the majority for a change. I am not an Obama supporter per say, but I am a democrat. And I will vote that way, no matter who he picks. But many in my state that voted for Hillary and support her were swing voters and some republicans. We are a big union state and some of the unions supported Hillary as far back as May '08. We in OH need a dem in the White House badly. And they would make an indistructable team.

Senator Bayh is my choice!! I live in Tennessee and have followed the career of Senator Bayh but if you remember he was a two term Governor from Indiana before becoming a Senator. He also brings experience being on the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Senate Intelligence Committee. I have no doubt in my mind that Bayh will carry his home state of Indiana as he is highly popular in his home state. I think this is a safe and smart choice for Obama. If he didn't pick Hillary then Obama would be his safest bet and Indiana's 11 electoral votes are well attained. - Thanks from Nashville,Tn

Vanessa. He brings the white man factor to the ticket, for all of the closet, in denial semi racist/sexist white men and women who just can't see themselves voting for a ticket that doesn't have a white man somewhere on it.
For all of the people who attack the Obama camp for "playing the race card", guess what? Race is a factor. How anyone could argue other wise is beyond me.
Posted by: Marc | Aug 1, 2008 5:40:03 PM
Reading comments people write in response to political articles deeply concerns me, in a deep and scared out of my mind sort of way.
The fact that so many people (and presumingly voters) appear to be completely ignorant and out of touch with common sense and reality makes me wonder why anyone would want to run for any political office. Sometimes I wonder if presidential candidates and others have any idea just how clueless so many average Joe and Betty Americans are.

Edwards is the way to go. Yeah, I know he cheats on his cancer-stricken wife and has a love child, but he would be able to help BHO in the south. He also has the ability to get the simpleminded to see things his way (remember when he channeles the little girl's spirit in the court room - the jury ate that up). In my opinion, Edwards is the way to go.
Posted by: Johnny Live | Aug 1, 2008 6:48:21 PM
Obama has done a fantastic job of picking him campaign people. I would trust him to pick somebody reliable, respectable and smart without the drama. Bayh could be it. I'm voting for Obama, please visit WHYOBAMA08.org!!!
Posted by: Aiken Blue | Aug 1, 2008 7:09:43 PM
Being from Indiana I am probably one of the few Hoosiers who hope Obama does not take Bayh. FIrst, that would allow the Republican governor to appoint a replacement if Obama wins and that means the Dems lose a senate seat. Second, Bayh is and was a huge Hillary supporter and I have to wonder where his loyalties run. Finally, tell the world Indiana has another vice president and people think Dan Quayle.
Posted by: nick | Aug 1, 2008 7:13:11 PM
You people who can't stand Obama why do you like McCain? WHAT can you trust about him? What makes him a leader or a war hero? What level of honesty did John McCain ever exhibit? Whoever still likes McCain lets the media pundits tell them what to think.

Bayh who? It will still be Obama by a landslide whether anyone likes it or not. Obama could run by himself, or with Lassie, and he will still win by a landslide. McCain's campaign is so pathetic that if he even has a remote chance, he is not making use of that remote chance.

The way Obama's campaign is going in the polls, he will be lucky to get Bozo the clown to run with him.

OK, now ABC, do an article on people that speculate, spend a whole 35 bucks to register a URL in hope that it will become desirable and someone will want to buy it from him. Good work "geevil" for applying some common sense in stopping to check a very easy to investigate fact. And finally, shame on the rabble, so easily roused.

I hope he does choose Bayh. Bayh has the experience that Kaine does not. Bayh is as safe as Biden is not. As a Hoosier, I don't know if Bayh could swing Indiana especially if Obama keeps running as poorly as he is now, but I hope he chooses our Senator and former Hillary supporter Evan Bayh. Bayh being on the ticket would also help us in Gubernatorial battle with the horrible Mitch Daniels.

To those Democrats who are thinking of voting McCain:
Don't do it! The reasons are numerous.
If McCain is elected, he will turn the US Supreme Court into a tool of the Repbulican party, if it isn't there already it will be a slam dunk after he puts thourgh couple of more appointments. This is important, your rights and freedoms are in jeapordy already.
McCain is already a tool of the Oil companies. Check out his contributions since flipping on off shore drilling on the Federal Election Commision website. Exxon-Mobile made $11 Billion the last quarter, how much of the gas price increase goes right into that number, McCain won't protect you from this rip-off anymore than Bush has.
McCain has foresaken his independence image from the Republicans and more inportantly from the Neo-cons. They have taken over his campaign as shown by the attack strategy of the last 2 weeks.
The environmental disaster we are facing is real. When we have to start buiding dykes around our major cities to keep out the sea it will cost trillions of dollars if not more. (Does anyone know what is more than a trillion? Hopefull we won't find out.)
McCain is out of control, I have seen the effects of dementia in my own family, believe me you don't want that in the WH.
I begging those Democrats to stay with your party, we can't afford another 4 or 8 years of Republican rule.
Those of you facing retirement, your Social Security is in danger, McCain disagrees with the whole premise of it. Why should he care, he take his Social Security, even though he has like 7 homes, and a wife with a $100 million. His rich friends don't need it, maybe you do. Protect yourself and your family.
Do we really need a third war with Iran? Under McCain thats what your will get, let me know when you find out what is bigger than a Trillion, (Zillion or whatever)because we will get there, this is a tax on your children and grandchildren. Let me get this straight we sell out the United States to the Chinese so we can go to war with Iran? This we cannot afford. There is got to be a better way.
Please think before you vote McCain.

Mark my words, Senator Clinton will be Senator Obama's VP pick in just a few weeks.

Obama has out raised & out spent tons of bucks. And He is only a draw at this point. His elevator is going down & that is how it should be. He's a crash & burn! He's had his moment on the world scene. They were curious & showed up to see the celeberty. Now it is time to get serious & pick an experienced person who has proven they can work Bi-partison & get the Job Done. Too Bad the DNC Blew it & didn't Pick Hillary. Now the Only good Locical Choice is John McCain!

MARK MY WORDS. THE DNC IS SOON TO BE TAUGHT A LESSON. STOP ABUSING THE VOTERS. FLORIDA, MICHIGAN, ALL WOMEN, POOR PEOPLE, STEALING VOTES RUNNING FALSE CAUCUS PRIMARIES.
STOP ABUSING THE VOTERS.
VOTE MCCAIN AND TEACH THE DEMOCRAT MACHINE WE WANT HONEST LEADERS NOT RACIST BIGGOTS WHO HATE AMERICA AND SEND THEIR KIDS TO RACIST CHURCHES ALL THEIR LIFE.
VOTE MCCAIN TO STOP THE ABUSE OF DNC AND OBAMA AND THE KENNEDY AND KERRY AND OTHERS LIKE THE NM GOVERNOR WHO IS A TRAITOR BENEDICT ARNOLD. RUN HIM OUT OF OFFICE ALSO.
AMERICANS UNITE FOR FREEDOM. FIGHT FOR A GOOD AMERICA. STOP THE CORRUPTION IN WASHINGTON BY THE DEMOCRATS.

Shame on the DNC for picking Obama over Hillary. It just goes to show: Same old politics, The most money wins! Obama using the same old tatics, race, race race. Hillary is well Experienced & Qualified to be President. She can articulate her ideas & solutions. Which is why she can debate,do town hall meetings & rallies with substance. Obama & his bot's can only say read it on my website. Cause someone other than Obama wrote it! That's why he can't explain it. And he doesn't have a plan which is why he changes his position as the wind blows. Shame on the DNC for backing Obama the Fraud! I'm voteing Republican for the 1st time in my Life!

obama wants to bankrupt us in a super expensive war in Afghanistan. there is nothing to win in afghanistan. obama has no judgement. he refuses to drill for oil and wants to bankrupt us with a war in afghanistan when we are all tired of war.
obama is a war monger. he also wants to drive up the price of oil to kill off the poor people.
Posted by: DemocratNoMore2 | Aug 2, 2008 11:26:51 PM
when gas is $20 a gallon he will tell the poor people
GET OVER IT.
when the poor people riot he will declare military rule and become a new lenin. dictator of america. there are only 2 politicians I know who used children to gain power. Hitler and Obama. Scary. Many germans tried to stop the rise of Hitler but were unsuccessful. I hope americans are successful in stopping Obama. Hitler the great speaker just like Obama. he moved the crowds over nothing. Study Hitler and Obama and you will see how identical they are. Hitler got elected because things had gone bad under the previous government.

This is a racist country and it always has been. This nation was founded on it.

Barry Obama tried to fix the 100 dollar bill problem by saying: "I'm young, new to the national scene. My name is Barack Obama." I think that says it all. We don't even know who he is...it's a huge leap to now vote for him...for president!

McCain campaign is fast fading.
It's in intensive care on
mechanical respiration right now.

What crazy nuts you have commenting on this site. People who don't care about the issues, but will vote for McCain out of spite that Obama beat Hillary. What idiotic logic. No one who takes politics or the issues that affect our livers seriously would do such a dumb thing. I was a Dodd supporter, but realize that while Obama isn't perfect or my top choice(s), he is eons better than John McCain on nearly every issue that a real progressive would care about. PUMAs voting for McCain are the Nader voters of 2008.
Posted by: Rick | Aug 3, 2008 1:58:06 PM
Simple fact - Obama has yet to complete his first term in the Senate. This is crazy...he has been campaigning to be President longer than he has been a Senator. Winning an election based on this fact will be unprecendented in American history. Even JFK had some US Rep House experience b4 he squeaked past Nixon. Obama was fixing parking tickets in the Ill state senate a few years back

Sad but true,this is and always has been a racist country. That being said, why do we need to continue to dig ourselved deeper? Perhaps it's time someone delivers a schock so strong Elect Obama and Bayh ) that would set us out of all that mud and crap and back on our feet where our founding fathers had first intended us to be.
