| Description | KOKOMO, Ind. — President Barack Obama has a good chance of winning Indiana in 2012 if the economy bounces back, Sen. Evan Bayh predicted Tuesday, adding that he would come out to campaign for Obama’s reelection.
The revival of the auto industry is proof that Obama made the right call on intervening, Bayh, a centrist Democrat who announced in February he wouldn’t seek a third term, told reporters in Kokomo, Ind., after Obama spoke at a Chrysler plant there.
“Well, the bottom line is: We’ve saved hundreds of jobs, hundreds of businesses. The taxpayers are going to get repaid with interest,” Bayh told reporters. “It was the right thing to do.”
Bayh was optimistic on Obama’s reelection bid.
“If the economy does begin to come back, as I suspect it will, I think his prospects for reelection are pretty good,” he said. “He’s focused on jobs and growing the economy. That’s what Hoosiers, regardless of their political persuasion, are interested in.”
Asked if he would campaign for Obama in the 2012 election cycle, Bayh said, “If he invites me, I’ll come.” |
