Bayh On Vulnerabilities

Sen. Evan Bayh spoke to my colleague Linda Douglass about the Indiana primary. You can listen to the full interview here, at 1pm ET.

In this excerpt, Bayh is asked about Republicans and the vulnerabilities of Obama's that arise from voters having to "fill in the blanks" about him.

Q: So you think he'd be more vulnerable, then, to those kinds of attacks than she would?

Bayh: Well, I think it's something they're going to have to address if he is the nominee and, look, if he is, I'll support him wholeheartedly. But I think it's just a question of reality -– they'll attack her too. And she's got some weaknesses they'll try to exploit too. I just think that most of that is already known. People have an opinion about that, and so there's less possibility of movement there in a negative direction and I think he may be a little more vulnerable, not because he's a bad person, but just because he's new and people don't know as much about him.
