Can a Democratic Dynasty Survive in This Red State?

Beau Bayh knows the way out of the wilderness.

"You got to go north on Main Road," he tells me over the phone, trying to guide me through the fall foliage of the Little Smokies, as the locals call them. The candidate for Indiana Secretary of State is set to meet me for a run at a trailhead here in Brown County State Park this morning. It's his 30th birthday. How else would a chiseled, 6'3 ex-Marine and ambitious Hoosier political scion celebrate but with some PT in the deep woods of southern Indiana? There is, of course, an Indiana University game later in the day, and he'll watch that with friends.
