Birch Evans Bayh III (commonly known as Evan Bayh) (pronounced like "bye"; IPA pronunciation: [baɪ]) (born December 26, 1955) is an American politician who has served as the junior U.S. Senator from Indiana since 1999 and a former Governor of Indiana. He is a member of the Democratic Party and, until December 15, 2006, was considered a likely Democratic candidate for the 2008 presidential election. Bayh is considered to be a leading candidate for the Vice Presidential spot in 2008, due to his centrist image and his deep roots in the Midwest, especially after he endorsed Sen. Hillary Clinton for the Presidency. Image File history File links Download high resolution version (1500x1875, 1327 KB) http://sbc. ... Type Upper House President of the Senate Richard B.

Governor of Indiana

As Governor, Bayh implemented a $1.6 billion dollar tax cut, the largest in state history.

Bayh was first elected Governor of Indiana in 1988, defeating Frank O'Bannon in the primary, and defeating John Mutz in the general election. O'Bannon went on to become Bayh's lieutenant governor. He was re-elected governor in 1992 with the highest percentage of the vote in a statewide election in modern Indiana history. His administration was considered cautious but successful (even by Republicans in the state), creating a large state surplus and permitting him to cut taxes.

Stressing fiscal responsibility, lower taxes, job creation and lean government, Bayh's tenure as governor was highlighted by eight years without raising taxes, the largest single tax cut and largest budget surplus in state history, "welfare-to-work"–type social programs, increasing annual school funding, high academic standards and new college opportunities, the creation of over 350,000 new jobs, the strengthening of law enforcement and improved environmental quality. He signed the 21st Century Scholars Act in 1992, legislation that states that every child in Indiana who is eligible for the free lunch program in a public school, graduates from high school and signs a pledge not to experiment with illegal drugs is entitled to a full college scholarship to a public university of his or her choice.

During Bayh's tenure as Governor, lethal injection became the only method of execution in Indiana, replacing electrocution. Tommie J. Smith, 42, and Gregory Resnover, 43, illustrated the change. Both were convicted and sentenced to die for the 1980 murder of Indianapolis police Sgt. Jack R. Ohrberg. Resnover was executed December 8, 1994 as the last to die in Indiana's electric chair. On July 18, 1996 Smith, who was convicted as the "trigger man" in Ohrberg's murder, was the first in Indiana to be executed by lethal injection. Bayh was a vocal supporter of capital punishment, and his reviews of petitions for executive clemency in such cases were not noted for leniency.[2] This article is about the execution and euthanasia method. ...

Candidacy for national office

He was selected by Bill Clinton to give the keynote address at the 1996 Democratic National Convention to reinforce his efforts to cast himself and the Democratic Party with a new moderate image. He notably attended the Bilderberg Group conference in Portugal in 1999, and in May 2000, President Bill Clinton stated, "I hope and expect some day I'll be voting for Evan Bayh for President of the United States." [8] He was indeed considered for national office as a possible running mate for Al Gore in the 2000 presidential election and in 2004, when some experts and pundits initially predicted Bayh to be a possible running mate for Democratic nominee John Kerry. His native Indiana was a key state in the important Midwest since Indiana was a Republican stronghold in presidential races, and it would almost certainly not be a swing state unless Bayh were nominated. Kerry instead selected Senator John Edwards of North Carolina.

On December 1, 2006, news sources revealed that Senator Bayh was creating a Presidential exploratory committee.[9] Bayh confirmed these reports on December 3. [10] On December 15, 2006, Bayh announced that he would not run for president in 2008, surprising many. Up until then, he had been considered a leading candidate because of his moderate views and experienced background. The possible reason is that despite raising $10 million for the campaign, future means of fundraising are appearing to favor other prospective candidates, including Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. [11]The campaign felt that a more populist candidate would win the nomination. The exploratory committee was consisted of several friends and political allies including Larry Ceisler and Jerry Howe.

National security/War on Terrorism

"In a post-September 11th world, our first responsibility is to keep the American public as safe as possible and to be prepared for every possible threat," Senator Bayh said. "Preventing and responding to biological attacks will require us to mobilize all available resources at the federal and state level, and the first line of defense is often state governments." Bayh challenges Rove — and Clinton, too?


Bayh is a member of the Armed Services Committee and the Intelligence Committee and is continually monitoring the progress of national security abroad, as U.S. troops continue operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.


"The sad truth is that nearly five years after 9/11, this president has made the country less secure than we were before the attacks. We have tinkered around the edges of homeland security without making the tough decisions and investments needed to make us truly safe. And perhaps worse of all, we have taken our eye off the ball in the war on terror.


"It is clear to just about everyone but the die-hard neoconservatives within this administration that shifting our focus away from Osama bin Laden to Saddam Hussein was perhaps the biggest strategic blunder in our nation's history. And while we have been preoccupied with Iraq, under this President North Korea has gone nuclear and Iran is on the verge of doing so."

"What concerns me most about President Bush's tax and budget proposals, is that they threaten to undermine the foundation of the 90's prosperity — replacing the "virtuous cycle" created by fiscal responsibility with a "vicious cycle" of deficits and debt, rising interest rates, and disinvestment. His proposals constitute a narrow ideological agenda, not an effective economic strategy, and completely fail to grasp the realities of the New Economy and the many requirements for economic success in the 21st Century."

And we need to tell the American people the truth, the truth the other side doesn’t want them to hear. You know, those folks, Karl Rove and that crowd, they’re so good, they’re so good at dividing this country, dividing this country along lines of race or ethnicity, or religion or orientation, for cheap short-term political gain. But it hurts this country. It hurts this country. We need to do better than that. We need to be better than that. By reconciling differences, by building bridges across the divide, by reminding the American people of the truth that we realize here in Colorado here tonight, that we’re one people, with a common heritage, forged from a common bond, with a common destiny. That’s the truth. That’s the truth."

  • Address to the Center for Strategic and International Studies — February 2, 2006

"As an American, I welcome this debate on national security because in an age of global terror, there is nothing more important than protecting the American people. It is a dangerous world — 3,000 Americans were killed on September 11th. Suicidal terrorists have pledged to attack again — and they have in London, Madrid, Amman, Bali, and across Iraq. North Korea has expanded its nuclear arsenal. Hamas will soon be in charge of the Palestinian Authority. And the radical leader of Iran who is seeking to acquire nuclear weapons — has pledged to destroy Israel and asked his people to imagine a world without the United States."

  • The American Middle Class:Future of the Nation, Future of the Democratic Party — July 17, 2006

"The Administration has increased the national debt by nearly $3 trillion, money our middle class and children must repay with interest. They borrow from Japan, China, Persian Gulf countries, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Germany, even Mexico. They are mortgaging our future. This is not how great leaders act." — July 25, 2006
