I agree. I think Bayh turn Indiana blue and McCain simply can't afford it, he has NO margin for error. Bayh would really help not only in Indiana, but also in places like Ohio, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Penn, maybe Minn, maybe NH. He's seasoned, he won't make mistakes, he's wholesome, he's qualifed, he's viewed more as a moderate than liberal, should appeal to rural and working class, he was a Clinton supporter, he has executive experience, some foreign committee experience. Just hits all the high points. He would be a very sound choice.
Andrea Mitchell is reporting on Morning Joe that he withdrew his name because he had no chance at the nomination, that he is too much of a "wildcard".
For whatever it's worth, I don't know.
May be the truth, may be spin.

He was the Favorite at Matchbook at +300, now it's +1600. When the smartest rat on deck decides to jump ship, you can be sure a shipwrecks on the Obama horizon. I like Webb and I'm right of center but would have supported Webb over McCain in the general.
I think Obama might be relieved in the long run, Webb would have overshadowed Obama. I'm glad he's out of the running, certainly a big boost for McCain.
