On the front page of the Indianapolis Star there is a poll that shows Obama has an edge to McCain. Obama has 47% and McCain has 44% and there are still some undecided voters and some voters that could swith from one to another canadite. It seems in this article that things are starting to heat up in this state and getting more exciting. Speaking as an independent voter I can't wait to see what happens. The poll also finds Obama supporters are more enthusiastic which is not surprising to me he is an energetic speaker I have seen him myself. The poll also says that young voters and African Americans tended not to vote but this election day is going to be very different. Many voters who have not voted before will vote in this election. One in five voters that back McCain or Obama could change their minds. I have seen more commercials and visits from Obama then McCain and I believe that will also swing some voters pick for president. Many Hoosiers are a little upset that Obama didn't pick Evan Byah as the vice president but I still think they will still vote for Obama. I was a little disappointed to but I see his strategey.
Can you believe it Indiana is a battle ground state which is so exciting.
Obama's advantage could easily deteriate though but we'll see what happens. Obama might be able to turn a historically red state to a blue state for the first time in 44 years. Hoosiers are seeing presidential nominees come to this state which they have not seen in many years. McCain's co -chair man says he is confident that McCain will win Indiana. My question is Is this why he has not come to Indiana he has already written us off as a red state?
Obama does well with women, younger voters, and African Americans. McCain does better with men and women also because of his selection of Palin. Some Hoosiers feel that McCain picked Palin as a political ploy. Some Republican Hoosiers are voting for Obama and some Democrats are voting for McCain. I think this race is bipartisian and the race is still anyone's game and the game is really close and Indiana just might get to change their old ways for new ways.

Are the politicians really viewing Indiana as a swing state? From what I have heard they are not considering us as much of as swing state compared to Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. I think it is neat that Indiana is getting more attention then previous years, for example we are having more ads played on TV.
