As you might expect, Indiana democrats are disappointed that Barack Obama didn't pick U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh as his running mate. My two cents - if Barack is serious about "change" and a "civil" campaign, I'm not sure he should have picked Biden. As a reporter, I love Biden. I've interviewed him a couple of times. He's smart, he usually answers the question and he's usually blunt. All three of those together are tough to find in a politician. But I might worry a bit about him "wandering off the reservation" if I were Barack Obama.
