    I don't get it. Obama has greater percentages in all the categories except 65+ which is only 12% of the voters, yet he's losing the state?

    Indiana isn't favouring anyone yet. McCain is only just ahead but the democratic leaning counties have yet to report. It will be very close there.

    CNN reckon Indiana looks promising for Obama 50-49 behind but with none of the urban areas counted that Kerry carried in 2004, so he is holding his own in the Rural areas.

    Dont like Obama one bit (not a fan of McCain either) but he really is better for the job. Ideal scenario for me: McCain wins, Obama cries, theres a re-count, and obama takes over.

    I just want to see him suffer first

    CNN putting the popular vote as 1,003,722 to 872,018 to Obama. It'll be interesting to see.
