LIVE FROM INDIANAPOLIS, IT?S SUNDAY NIGHT 8:15 UPDATE

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

Indiana Democrats’ favorite son is on stage now, Evan Bayh.  He got the best opening so far.  While speaking, he stressed a message of unity.  Bayh said although some in the audience have come to support either Hillary or Barack, either could do a better job George W. Bush.   Bayh said Indiana was flyover country for 40 years and now it matters.  He said both candidates have listened to new voters and by working together Democrats can put Indiana in the blue column.   Indiana has not voted for a Democrat for President since 1964.

Bayh told the audience that although he is for Clinton he is not against Barack Obama.  Bayh said come election night, some people will be disappointed but Democrats can’t let that disappointment stop them from voting for either winner in the election.

Bayh said both Hillary and Barack will fight for universal health care, withdrawing troops from Iraq and fighting for the middle class.
