It's a similar story over at Freddie Mac: Former Rep. SusanMolinari (R-NY) is a contract lobbyist, and Democratic operative Harold Ickes used to be on the board.
Instead, the party presented a more moderate message, just as the Republicans did when they chose Rep. SusanMolinari of New York as the GOP keynoter earlier this month.
And on the "Families First" night of the Democratic convention, how could Bayh compete with Molinari's repeated references to her 3-month old daughter Susan Ruby?
