Evan Bayh told George Stephanopoulos yesterday that the most important reason people should vote for him for President (potentially, of course) is that he's finally come to an understanding after 8 years in the Senate that he's part of the problem:

"As the people get to know me, I think we'll do very well. I've been a successful two-term governor with a record of delivering results. I now have national security experience from my presence in the Senate," Bayh said.

"But most importantly," he told moderator George Stephanopoulos of "This Week" on ABC, "I have a deep appreciation for how broken this city is, how desperately we need someone who will unite the American people for the common purpose of building this country.

Ironically, Bayh would be in a much better position if his career were reversed and he'd spent two terms in the Senate before being twice-elected Governor of Indiana, instead of vice-versa.

Nevertheless, with so many Senators lining up to run, expect to see a lot of this type of phony "insider turned outsider" positioning.
