I've never followed Evan Bayh very closely, but I had the impression he was a DLC member and a Democratic hawk. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Today he voted "no" on Rice's confirmation. This article suggests that he's voting a bit differently than in his past because he may want the Dem nomination in '08.
This Indiana news article mentions that he opposed Rice because of the Administration's handling of Iraq, and didn't say he opposed going to war in general. So maybe there's no inconsistency with his earlier views or philosophy. Any thoughts on this development?
