Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh did stand-ups and sit-downs with broadcast and print reporters after a breakfast this morning at which he was the featured speaker.

Here are a few thoughts he shared with the media:

On being a veepstakes finalist: “If I had to do it all over again I’d be willing to do it all over again.”

On politics generally: “If you do the right thing at the moment, the politics of the future does tend to take care of itself. If you’re dong the wrong thing because of some calculation about the future, that’s a certain path to disaster.”

On running again in 2010: “I would assume so. At this moment, I’m not giving that a whole lot of thought.”

On his youthful appearance: “If only I’d have had as much gray hair as Joe [Biden], maybe it would have made a difference.”

On what he’ll do to help Obama win: “I suspect the best place I can help him is in Indiana…hopefully Hoosiers have a level of trust and confidence in me.”

On why Indiana is competitive: Bayh said it’s a combination of Obama’s “ability to inspire and represent change” and the fact that “there are a whole lot of more conservative independents and moderate Republicans who just can’t take it any more.”

On the veepstakes vetting process: Bayh said the strangest question he was asked was whether he’d ever been treated for depression. He told the vetting team that he’s never taken an medications for depression and has never seen a psychologist or psychiatrist for depression, “but if you guys don’t hurry up and make this decision, I might actually be depressed.”
