"The debate over Iraq is not about politics. It is about national security. It should be clear that our national security requires Congress to send a clear message to Iraq and the world: America is united in its determination to eliminate forever the threat of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction." -- John Edwards, Oct 10, 2002

Sen. Evan Bayh, who dropped his own bid for the White House in December citing the difficulty of running against celebrity Democrats, including Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, endorsed Clinton on Monday as the candidate with a “unique set of attributes to lead this country.”“The next president of the United States must be experienced and seasoned, must be smart and must be tough,” Bayh said at a Capitol Hill news conference with the New York Democrat at his side. “I believe that Hillary Clinton is all of these things and more.”The backing by Bayh, a moderate Democrat, could help Clinton with those who fear her reputation is too liberal to win the general election.And should Clinton get the Democratic nomination, she might remember Bayh’s endorsement when selecting a running mate, a topic both did their best to sidestep Monday.It’s unclear, however, whether Bayh, as a vice presidential candidate, would be able to deliver Indiana, which has not voted for a Democrat for president since 1964.But political spam Charlie Cook said that may not matter as a reason to select Bayh who would bring a reputation as a “highly regarded leader in the moderate wing” to assuage less liberal voters.“While I think Indiana would be a very difficult state for any Democrat to win under any circumstances, I think Bayh would be on any short list of potential running mates, particularly for Clinton,” Cook said. “It isn’t about Indiana, it’s about the signal it would send.”Republicans, however, said the signal Bayh’s endorsement sends is his eagerness to get to the White House rather than to represent Hoosier voters.“Evidently, the chance to be vice president is more appealing than standing against the kind of politics a Clinton ticket represents: bigger government, higher taxes, government-run health care, and a policy of retreat in the war on terror,” Indiana GOP Chairman Murray Clark said in a statement.Bayh, who was considered for vice president in 2000 and 2004, said that position is not “the kind of thing you probably say no to” but is not the reason he endorsed Clinton.“Decisions like that and the factors that influence it are just unknowable” so far in advance, he said.
