Oh my this makes does my heart good. Not quite the 3% I predicted, but I'm sure that last minute flood of Wright ads didn't help.
GARY (AP) — Barack Obama made sure Indiana wasn't one of the first states declared for a presidential candidate on Election Night.
Indiana's voters were so closely divided between Obama and John McCain that it wasn't clear Obama had put the state in the Democratic column for the first time in 44 years until long after his victory speech in Chicago.
An unofficial tally by The Associated Press early Wednesday showed him defeating McCain by about 23,000 votes out of more than 2.7 million cast — one of the narrowest margins in the country.

It's a win no matter how by how many. Show's how important one vote can be... D.
Hoosiers are obviously smarter than Texans.
After canvassing from about 9:00 a.m. to about 5:00 p.m. and observing at a polling site at one of Indiana's most conservative counties, I was exhausted, anxious, and cautiously optimistic until the election was called. I still can't put into words the feelings.
It was an honor working side by side during the primary and general with the campaign staff and other volunteers. Congratulations to all of us on getting it right this time. It's amazing to be a small part of this historic moment.
Many people doing small things working together can accomplish extraordinary things and YES WE DID!!!

After staying up until 1:40 a.m. on election night, and exhausting all online searches about the fate of Indiana's electorates, I emailed a few of my friends and told them that if, somehow, by some miracle, Indiana became a "blue" state, I would promise (at least for the next 4 years) to not call Indiana a podunk state, and that I would also purchase an Indiana flag.
I was shocked also to see that Vanderburgh County voted Obama--which is basically Evansville, Indiana, where I live.
Congratulations to all of us! And thank you Nancy in Fishers, Indiana.
