Here in Indiana the polls have the candidates splitting the vote.

Here are the numbers, according to a new Indy Star/WTHR poll: Barack Obama's ahead slightly, with 46% compared to John McCain's 45%.

This is the third poll in the Hoosier State this week that shows a neck-and-neck race.

Indiana's gone Republican in presidential races since 1968.

Of the 15 states that have chosen both a Democrat and a Republican for President in the post-Reagan era... Indiana ain't one of 'em.

In fact, 1964 was the last time that Indiana went for a Dem... and Obama ain't no LBJ, and McCain ain't no Goldwater.

Yuk! I think over all though, Indiana will do just fine. Don’t get discouraged, and thanks for making all those calls.

Indiana will go Republican again. Not worried about Indiana.

The airwaves are blanketed with Hussein ads and Hussein makes his 48 visit to the state today.

Sure and his poll numbers are steadily declining.  What's that tell you? Seeing him is a reminder that our brave soldiers are fighting to keep the Muslims out of this country while the moonbats are trying to cram one in the White House.

I live in Southeast Indiana.

That's great but in my travels throughout Lake, Porter, LaPorte and St. Joseph counties I can count the number of McCain/Palin yard signs on one hand. Lake and Porter Counties make up the second largest populace in Indiana at around 500,000. You have Marion County, the most populace county in Indiana, Lake Porter Counties second most populace all moving to the left. My calls to Fort Wayne, second most populace city in Indiana are favoring Hussien @ 55% now. If the McCain campaign is providing me with the names of registered republicans then we have a serious problem.

I’ve lived in Fort Wayne all my life. I seem to have missed the stories about the FW economy tanking in the last 6 months and FW going towards Obama.

You need to pay more attention to the RV industry and supporting industries. Fort Wayne employed thousands in that industry and it’s going down the crapper real quick. Layoffs are being announced 2-3 times a week now.

Funny....that’s the same thing they were saying about New Hampshire less than 10 years ago. If you take time to study the voting trends of Indiana as well as the changing demographics you might be surprised. Indiana ain’t near as red as it used to be.

FW going towards Obama.

I didn't say Fort Wayne would go Hussein. I stated that 55% of the calls I've made on behalf of the McCain/Palin ticket are favoring Hussein. Where list call list originates I have no idea but if it's a list of registered republicans there could be trouble. Of course...this is only my first hand experience and not the professional pollsters or magic eight ball experts.
