"Here in this 'conservative Republican' state, a moderate Democrat - Evan Bayh - holds the record in two categories. His 1,488,782 votes over Marvin Scott in the 2004 U.S. Senate race breaks the record of U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar, who had 1,430,525 votes in 1988."Pretty impressive, eh? Senator Evan Bayh holds the record in Indiana!
The Washington Post reports:
"Sen. Evan Bayh, a fellow Hoosier, a friend of Mellencamp's since 1988 and a buzzed-about possibility for the Democratic ticket in 2008, says the keys to the singer's status as an Indiana favorite son are his 'authenticity' and his ability to 'bring people together across political divides.'
'I think we both stand for the forgotten middle man,' says Bayh. 'We don't put on airs, and I think the people like that about us.'"
