Hoosier Hysteria

Growing up a Hoosier, I know that Indiana has been routinely relegated to the backwaters of presidential election politics. It's always been a reliable Republican state in the general election, and the state's primary has always been so late in the season that it's never really mattered in selecting a nominee.

Until I moved to Michigan, I thought the only candidates who put up TV ads were people running for mayor.

Well, not since the days of Dan Quayle has the Hoosier State been at the center of a presidential race. Now, Clinton and Obama have landed.

After this experience, Indiana might lead the parade of states moving their primaries back to actually AVOID any campaigning.
