In the Homestretch

Indiana seems to be really important right now. Both candidates plan on visiting Indiana between today and tommarow. Early voting is the highest its ever been and there are many still campaining out there on these last two days. What is different in this election compared to other elections in the past. Many want the election just to end because they are tired of the hoopla surrounding the election and tired of seeing Obama or McCain's face. I say we need to care because one of them will be our president and we will have to see them about everyday.
Many Hoosiers were waiting hours to vote early and many are excited that we are a battleground state. McCain came to Indy today and Obama is expected to go to the Indy area tommorow but it is hushed up because he wants his appreace not to disrupt election day. Volunteers for both candidates were knocking on doors or doing phone calls. This weekend I saw on the news some celebrities even maning phones for candidates.
Obama and McCain will do a one on one interview during the halftime of Monday night football which will be at 10:15pm if anyone is interested. Its the Washington Redskins vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers. Also Saturday Night Live will have some spoofs of various elections tonight. I hope I get to see Will Ferrel as Bush again and of course Tina Fey as Sarah Palin.
Right now Obama leads McCain in Indiana 45.9% to45.3% Some of the early voters are willing to wait three to four hours to vote. Obama opened campaign offices across the state 44 of them and McCain oppened no offices in Indiana releying on state GOP. Grassroots for McCain started off slow compared to Obama's grassroots efforts.
In case you want to know McCain plans to visit battleground states of Florida, Virginia, Indiana, New Mexico, and Neveda all today. Tommarow McCain will go to Pennsylvania and then return to Arizona which he will have a party at Poenix's high end Biltmore resort and spa but plans to adress supporters on a lawn in addition to ballroom events.
Obama plans to visit Florida, North Carolina and Virginia today. Tommarow a quick stop here in the Hoosier state and then his election party will be in Chicago's Grant Park.
Both of them will be very busy but the homestretch is now and they will defiantely need some well needed rest after everything is said and done.
