Slog - Comments on Indiana http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/11/indiana This is an early-poll-closing state that the Stranger Election Control Board suggests you keep a very close eye on. If Obama wins Indiana—well, that's generally thought to be the landslide scenario. Indiana was the place where Obama had all that trouble with "working class whites" during the primary with Hillary Clinton. He couldn't quite beat her there because of that. So, the thinking goes, if Obama has improved his standing enough among that demographic to take Indiana, then he's also going to easily take Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, and a number of other places that are, relatively speaking, much easier...

This is very exciting - and I switched my registration to IN just for this. One thing to note: the very pro-Obama northern counties polls just closed (at 7), so the results you are seeing are from the rural redneck areas right now, where the polls closed at 6.

I think the results will be determined by how Marion, Tippecanoe, and Lake counties vote. These are the bigger counties in Indiana and they tend to go democratic.
