Whoa, Evan Bayh for Obama?

Hot on the heels of the big-ass article on McCain’s possible VP choice, it looks like we’ve got a hell of a hint about Obama’s: Indiana senator Evan Bayh.

You can peruse Bayh’s record at OnTheIssues just like with all the other candidates and I suggest that you do so. One thing you might notice is that I was right, he’s pretty centrist by a lot of their metrics. 50% by NARAL, 60% by the ACLU, 43% by the US COC, 33% by the Christian Coalition, etc. I’m pretty jazzed about his big church-state separation push, though. While a touch moderate, he’s good where it counts.

The kicker, and the reason I’m writing this, is that http://obamabayh08.com directs to… the DNC’s homepage. If that doesn’t seal the deal in most peoples’ eyes, I’m not sure what will.

Let the speculation begin!!

UPDATE: Will just said this, and it’s so bad but yet so funny that I have to relay it: If you’re going to sell a candidate, what better way than E. Bayh? Well played, Will. Well played.

UPDATE 2: Commenter Pete points out that there’s nothing to say that the DNC owns the domain, it merely redirects to it. However, I’m more than a little suspicious of that as a WHOIS returns nothing substantial other than it was registered in May of 2007. It does, however, say that it was updated in February of 2008. There’s nothing for it in the Internet Archive to say what was before that, but perhaps that’s when it started to redirect?

UPDATE 3: Other sites are picking up on the fact that Bayh is on a very, very short list of potential Obama VP’s, so we’ll see how this plays out.
