Just today the following announcements:
The Obama for President campaign has emailed supporters an announcement of Indiana local office headquarters to be opened this Saturday morning at 10 AM. This list includes an office right in Gary!
Hillary Clinton’s campaign announces that Hillary is coming to Hammond, Indiana’s Civic Center at 1 p.m. this Friday, according to a breaking news item in the Post-Tribune. Chris Hedges suggests that we should "look for Obama to follow" ... and we've heard rumors he'll be in Valparaiso early May.
So, for the first time in decades Indiana's primary actually matters. If Hillary were to win Pennsylvania and appear to be bouncing back in the polls, then Obama really needs to win Indiana to keep the momentum in the eyes of the superdelegates.
We predict that this is going to the convention. Clinton won't back down and drop out, and Fox News reported this morning that 22% of Democrats think she should, but 22% also think Barack should back out! This will go down to the wire, superdelegate to superdelegate.
They will have to choose between the winner of the most states, and the winner of the popular vote! Talk about reverse of fortunes from 2000 and the Florida election.

Hi Steve,
I'm somewhat excited that NW Indiana is getting some attention. I just hope that we're not portrayed in the national media as either flyover country or decaying rust belt areas past their glory days of old.
