Bayh At Georgia JJ Dinner

Last Monday Senator Bayh was the keynote speaker at the Georgia Democratic Party's annual Jefferson-Jackson dinner. Andre at Georgia Politics Unfiltered had this to say:

Finally came the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner, where Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) was the keynote speaker. There are several articles in the papers about his speech, last night, and I can honestly say that Sen. Bayh sounded like a man running for President and he impressed me. He gave about a 30 to 45-minute speech without using any notes or a teleprompter. Now I know when we're talking about being President, the ability to give a speech "off the cuff" is meaningless, but I'm going to keep an eye on Sen. Bayh because I could see him with a spot on the national Democratic ticket.

GTTim also attended the event and wrote about it in his DailyKos diary:

Evan Bayh gave the Keynote Address. Wow! Very impressive. Bayh discussed running against the GOP by confronting them on national security, the budget and values. He feels we can win by attacking them on these. He sold me, and is my top primary contender right now. He spoke about how Georgia and Indiana are very similar and how he won by a higher percentage in 2004 than Bush did. I think he is nailing it.

There were also several mentions of the speech in the local Georgia press.
