Howey Politics Indiana
I try to resist hypotheticals. Still, I cannot help but think about that Obama-Bayh ticket. Republicans last spring and summer always expressed great confidence that John McCain would carry Indiana, and he leads in most credible Indiana polls. But mention the Obama-Bayh ticket and there would be a pregnant pause and usually an admission: well, that would change everything.
So it was with considerable relief for Hoosier Repubicans that the text message at 3 a.m. on Aug. 23 from Chicago carried the news that Sen. Joe Biden had edged out our boy Evan for the Democratic ticket.
The latest credible poll - by SurveyUSA - showing McCain leading Obama in Indiana by a 48-45 percent margin accents what could have been the blunder on the blunder. The first blunder was the ridiculous Obama rollout (i.e. I know something you don’t know) of the veepstakes. McCain was much more clean, setting a time and date and essentially eclipsing the Obama convention bump with the temporarily politically savvy move of choosing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. What energy
