No Bayh

And another rumor gets popped. At least for the moment.

Bayh: Obama hasn’t asked me to join ticket
(Mary Beth Schneider, Indystar.com, 5 Aug 2008)

Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., told The Indianapolis Star today that Sen. Barack Obama has not asked him to be his running mate and that he’s not expecting Obama to announce his vice presidential pick when Obama is in Indiana Wednesday.

Asked if he will be Obama’s vice presidential choice, Bayh said; “I have no idea. You’d have to ask him.”

Bayh will be introducing Obama at Wednesday’s town hall meeting in Elkhart, but said he knows of no plans for a private meeting with Obama, even though both men are flying into northern Indiana tonight. The length of Obama’s visit here — he arrives at about 6:30 p.m. and isn’t scheduled to leave until about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday — had acceleratd already flying rumors that Bayh will be Obama’s choice.

But Bayh said he believed the campaign was trying to add another stop in Indiana, accounting for the length of the visit.
