From the Left?

I was largely taken by surprise to read the following at the end of this article from the Wall Street Journal:

"Mr. Bayh, a Democratic senator from Indiana, served as governor of Indiana from 1989 to 1997." (Italics added for emphasis.)

Could there really be more common sense coming from the left side of the isle than we originally thought? I don't much like surprises (save birthdays), but this one was pleasantly received. Mr. Bayh is exactly right in saying that "the solution going forward is to stop wasteful spending before it starts. Families and businesses are tightening their belts to make ends meet--and Washington should too." Click on the link in the first paragraph of this post to read the full article.
