7. Hillary leads amoung Dems in IN but the expected GOP vote puts Obama ahead by 1%
The GOP want Obama - the GOP media wants Obama - and only Hillary stands between their win/win election in Nov and real change to the left.

there will be little movement to the left - no health plan - with Obama

Obama campaign is now saying their will be no universal health written by administration introduced to Congress - they will just encourage hearings

Previously the campaign told Kudlow of CNBC that they do not expect to pass any of the social programs promised - they are just campaign talk - and therefore Kudlow need not worry about any deficit increase because of Obama programs.

Likewise Canada was told by Obama campaign that NAFTA termination threat was just campaign talk - as was out of Iraq in 16 months.

Just what is the difference between what we should expect after an Obama win compared to a McCain win?

Only Hillary guarantees change will be fought for - Obama would be fighting for GOP love so as to "change the politics" in Washington.

8. "Obama campaign is now saying their will be no universal health written by administration "
Nice spin, Hillbot......

What actually happenned was that Clinton's DLC buddy and actually FROM New York senator Chuck Schumer announced that "the money isn't going to be there" for health care reform in 2009.

I don't agree with Schumer, but that's what he said.

I could come up with the money in 10 seconds, by doing just 2 things:

1) end the tax cuts for the rich

2) end the occupation of Iraq

9. I dont know how you define "open"
but in Indiana the voter has to declare their party affiliation when signing in at the polls.And there is no cross voting. The voting machine is locked in for prospective party candidates,and one cannot vote across party lines.According to the Indy Star many republicans re-registered as Democrats before the registration deadline.And we know what thats all about...
Indiana could go blue this time for the first time since 1964..(according to the latest polls for the general election)..Mccain vs Hillary or Obama is dead even...
