Evan Bayh gives solid performance on Face the Nation (+)

For those that missed our junior senator's gig on Face the Nation yesterday, I'm unfortunately coming up empty in terms of video evidence. For a general overview, Maureen Groppe comes through in a pinch.
Sen. Evan Bayh aggressively defended Barack Obama and went after John McCain at the start of the week in which Obama is likely to reveal his running mate.

Interviewed on CBS' "Face the Nation," the Indiana Democrat said McCain is given to "bellicose rhetoric which has a tendency to inflame conflicts rather than to defuse them." He also said McCain should denounce a new book about Obama that Bayh said is full of "lies and allegations."

"The old John McCain would denounce that," Bayh said. "The new John McCain has embraced those kind of tactics."

McCain has embraced those kind of tactics."

Bayh relied heavily on the assertion he has used effectively in the past: Obama has consistently shown better judgment on foreign policy issues.
