McCain Clings To Indiana Lead
Indiana hasn't voted for a Democratic president since the Johnson landslide 44 years ago. This year, Republican John McCain is clinging to a five-point lead. Brian Howey reports.

The Republicans certainly have had their way in this state for a long time. There have only been three elections in the 20th century where they haven't won, and the last one was 1964.
In my opinion, the McCain-Palin campaign has taken Indiana for granted this year. Sarah Palin made her first stop last Friday. We have only seen John McCain once.
They have really been out-performed by Obama on all fronts. He's got over 40 offices open around the state in small communities. The Obama campaign has probably registered 150,000, maybe 200,000, new voters.
And I think what their plan is, is to try and offset some of the latent racism that may exist here in the state with a new voter.
To use an Indiana basketball term, this is a barn burner.
Hoosiers have a long love affair with the internal combustion engine. We were an auto center and what has happened to Detroit has really impacted the economy her in Indiana. And I think that is why, a lot of Republicans and Independents are certainly taking a long look at Barack Obama.
I was told by McCain operatives here that they were going to do it the old-fashioned way - they felt like they had a very strong state organization. And the Indiana Republican Party is a very strong state organization.
Traditionally, Republican presidential nominees swoop in to Indiana to raise money. And now they have to put out a prairie fire.Ways To Win

CBS executives--if you''re going to invite partisan guest bloggers, would you at least try to provide some balance?
BTW, recently published research suggests that registered Democrats are more likely than Republicans to allow race to motivate their policy choices.

Although I support Obama, and hope he takes Indiana by storm, I too thought it was poorly written.
