indiana, 2008 election

gingembre says:

I am so pleased that the majority of voters in my home state of Indiana chose Obama over McCain! It has been an exciting election for us Hoosiers, who normally get little attention due to the assumption that Indiana is a dyed-in-the-wool red state. Well, not any more! Woo hoo!

I was one of the Hoosiers who cast an absentee ballot this year.
