Senator Evan Bayh, D-Blow Dryer, has announced that he's voting against John Roberts, vaguely offering that the judge's answers were too vague. The Indianapolis Star has nailed its state's junior senator on this declaration, noting that he pledged to support "Hoosier values" in his election campaign.
(Though from Indiana originally, SWNID cannot explain what a "Hoosier" is, so don't ask in the comments. We have spent more of our years out of James Whitcomb Riley's and Booth Tarkington's and Hoagy Carmichael's and Ernie Pyle's state than in it.)
The editorial board at the Star states flatly and no doubt rightly that Bayh is voting no to avoid problems with left-wing activists and fundraisers who control the Ds' presidential primaries.
Bayh, the son of an equally unprincipled Hoosier Senator, can only be depended upon to refer on every occasion to his beloved mother's premature death to breast cancer. Otherwise, he's a cipher of personal political ambition, noteworthy only for managing to get elected multiple times to statewide office.
Actually, "otherwise" in the previous paragraph is misleading. Omit it.
SWNID offers this conclusion, based in part on additional information from his many political contacts in Indianapolis:
Before his first election to statewide office in Indiana, Evan Bayh and his wife were in the Indianapolis legal community, where both worked as lawyers, commonly referred to as Ken and Barbie. It would appear now that MoveOn.org and other far-left bagmen have dressed and posed Ken exactly as they want him to appear. Barbie has not been reached for comment.
