1. The more Obama friendly areas close at 7, correct?

When does Indianapolis close?

[saltpoint]

3. Hi, hnmnf. Yes -- most of the state is on Eastern time, including Indianapolis.

The districts around Gary in the far northwest and the far southwest corner near Evansville are on Central Time and will close an hour later.

If O and Joe run up competitive totals in the Eastern districts, then we win the state.

4. Indianapolis 6 pm, but NW Indiana with Gary 7 pm. Will be interesting. nt

This is heavy Obama country (Lake County,Gary,Hammond,East Chicago).

INDIANA VOTERS HERE

@ 3:30pm - My ghoulfiend and I were able to walk right in and vote.... no wait. We had our choice of 3 voting machines. We both voted for Barack Obama! :patriot:

6. Even Scarborough said if Indiana goes to Obama, we can have a good idea that he's going to win.

[saltpoint]

8. Agree. Indiana is so reliably red that if Obama could win it, it's pretty

much all over for McCain everywhere else, too.

9. i grew up in indiana, i would love to see it go blue.....back home again, in indiana and is seems...

[saltpoint]

11. A beautiful folk song, that one.

I would meet an Obama win in Indiana tonight with screams of elation.

10. The earliest poll closing time is 7 PM Eastern except for parts of KY & IN that close at 6.

7 PM closing applies to VT, VA, SC, GA, and the parts of KY & IN that close after 6 PM EST. Here's a good graphic so you can keep track:

14. From the Indianapolis STAR:

(More than one time zone at work in Indiana. Two sections of the state, the extreme SW and the extreme NW are on Central. Everyplace else in the state on Eastern.)

13. Don't we always hear from Maine first?

I mean, OK. First we hear from Podunk Notch, and Gobblers Knob, and Wankers Corner... and then we hear from Maine. Followed by real states.

Isn't that how it usually works?

15. Wankers Corner this year turned in write-in votes for Mitt Romney.
