McCain is going to spend money in IN

Today I heard on the news, radio and an email that was sent to me that the Republicans are actually getting scared of losing the state of Indiana. The McCain campaign decided to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to air television ads here in Indiana. Indiana has been a state that has not voted Democratic for president for more than four decades. Polls show here in Indiana that the race is heating up and Obama has a slight lead. The Republican party say they are not worried but why else would they just now have commercials aired and think about McCain coming to Indiana when he did not think to visit this state earlier. Barack and now Joe Biden have been actively campaigning here in Indiana and actually talking to Hoosiers about the challeges they face on a day to day baisis. I found all this to be interesting.
I think if McCain did come to Indiana he would get support but Obama has been all over this state and has already aired many commercials. It might be too late for McCain.
