...but you just committed a howler on the NBC Nightly News. You said that Evan Bayh had "blue collar roots." Uh, Andrea his father Birch Bayh was a powerful 3 term Democratic Senator who tried to parley his insider status into the White House in 1976. It didn't work and then he lost in the Reagan landslide of 1980 to a candiate he didn't take very seriously: J. Danforth (Mr. Potatoe Head) Quayle. End of history lesson. Class dismissed.tags: politics senate media bayh
