Ten days until election day!

With only ten days left until November 4th, Indianans find themselves in the political hot seat.  Obama visited the contentious Hoosier state this Thursday in an attempt to seal the deal.  A crowd of 35,000 jammed the American Legion Mall to deliver a harsh criticism of John McCain's tax policies.  

Northwest Indiana seems particularly favorable to the message of change, but disagree on who is best delivering it.  Between hardline Joe the Plumber advocates of McCain and those who see the economic plunder as the plight brought on by Republicans, the decision is iffy.  

So what do the polls say about all of this?  The winner is . . . not clear.  It's a dead heat with McCain only holding on to a mere 1% lead and with the margin of error that is nothing at all.  Obama has outspent McCain in Indiana by millions in advertising and that's what this could come down to.  Obama could be the first Democrat since the 1960s to be carried by Indiana and that would be a feat in of it self.

In the gubernatorial race, the clear winner, at least at this point in time, is Republican Daniels who enjoys a sizable lead over his opponent.
