A Clinton Quickie

Look for former Indiana governor and current U.S. Senator
Evan Bayh
maybe to travel out of Washington in the
near future for serious face time with
John Kerry
.
Bayh has met with Kerry’s vice-presidential vetter
Jim
Johnson
at least twice, but Bayh has not sat down with
Kerry. While the two know each other from the Senate, they were not
considered to have a close working relationship.

Bayh is considered a top tier candidate if only because of his moderate credentials as governor, and because the Kerry camp believes he can help the campaign win Ohio and Pennsylvania, two states Kerry would have to win to have a shot at the White House.
Kerry campaign staffers say any meetings between the candidate and prospective veeps will most likely take place in Kerry’s Boston or Washington, D.C. homes. “Any of the other homes are too isolated. High profile guests would get picked up too easily,” says a source.
Kerry is believed to have held initial meetings with some potential No. 2’s, including Iowa governor Tom Vilsack and New Mexico governor Bill Richardson. No meeting has occurred with Sen. John Edwards or Rep. Dick Gephardt.
