All of which means that Clinton needs an even larger landslide of super delegates to make any of this worth while.

And still, nobody wants to talk about Hillary's gas tax holiday. Is ANYBODY at The Stranger interested in transportation and the environment? Anybody?

Unless IN is completely different from my home state of IL, wouldn't the students have to vote where their permanent address is, not where they go to school?

So, sure, most of the kids will take off after finals and we hope that they will/ did vote in their district... but the article should be talking about the folks in/around Ball State that actually live and are registered in the 6th.

Yeah, I've been waiting for an ECB or Feit rant here about Hillary's love of the environmentally irresponsible and pointless gas tax holiday plan, and yet ... somehow it doesn't seem to be coming. Imagine that.

The funny thing is, if the Dems apportioned their delegates the way the Republicans do -- winner-take-all -- Clinton would have clinched the nomination long before McCain did. Ah, to be a Democrat.

If the Democrats ran winner take all primaries, well, number one, they wouldn't be Democrats, but more importantly, Team Hillary would have picked any strategy but the right one. Mark Penn would have made sure of that. And something tells me Obama would have planned it out so he would win. Winners know how to win, and losers know how to lose.

If the dems apportioned delegates like the GOP, would we have to hate America the way Republicans do, tho?

@2: No, students may vote in the precinct where they attend school, but they do have to change their permanent address to their address at school.

89% of Ball State students are from the area or other places in Indiana--here's what the Indiana Secretary of State has to say about that.

It all sounds like counting chickens to me.
Oooops Ha I crack me up.

Aw, shit, if the latest polls out of North Carolina (showing it neck-and-neck) are to be believed, Hillary's gonna drop-kick Indiana. Thank you, Rev. Wright!
