Sabato likes Bayh and Warner

Seems like Larry Sabato is predicting an Evan Bayh/Mark Warner ticket or vice-versa. I've been saying it all along.

This was in Jim Carroll's weekly notes from Washington today:

The all-Hoosier ticket
Looking ahead to the Democrats' 2008 prospects for gaining the White House, political analyst Larry Sabato sees one ticket that "could be well-nigh unbeatable."

That would be former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner, who was born in Indianapolis, and Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind.

Warner-Bayh or Bayh-Warner could take Virginia, West Virginia, Indiana and Ohio away from the GOP, said Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, in his latest Crystal Ball newsletter.

"The total of 49 electoral votes from these four Red states would be nearly impossible for the GOP to make up," Sabato wrote.

Then he added, "Republicans need not worry: The Virginia-Indiana pairing makes so much political sense that the Democrats will never actually do it."

Warner and Bayh both are considering bids for the presidential race.

Thoughts?
