John Gregg Says it Best

Always colorful, former Democrat Speaker of the Indiana House of Representatives John Gregg definitely lays claim to the quote of the day in the Indy Star this morning regarding Senator Evan Bayh not receiving the vice presidential nod:

Former House Speaker John Gregg was blunt as he grimly joked about his disappointment: “Let me get the noose off of my neck.”

“I’m sad for him. I’m sad for the Hoosier state. I’m sad for the Democratic Party,” Gregg said.

In the same article, Gregg later acknowledges his lack of enthusiasm for the Biden pick.

I wonder how Indiana Democrats feel about this concession that Bayh’s non-pick it not good for their chances in the November election for statewide and legislative races. Jill Long will have a hard time boosting the spirits of her base after so much was staked on the Bayh announcement that did not happen.
