Indiana Getting Out the Vote!

I've said many times in previous diaries (and other folks on DK have said the same) that the cities of Indianapolis (Marion County), Bloomington (Monroe County) and Gary (Lake County) will be allllll Obama.

Check out the story from Yahoo today:

About 20 percent of the 127,000-plus absentee ballots received as of early Friday were cast in three Indiana counties — Marion, Monroe and Lake — that political observers believe Obama is strongly favored to win.

Lake County has a large population of black voters and is in Chicago's shadow. Obama has typically won big among college-age voters, and Monroe County is the home of Indiana University in Bloomington. Obama's campaign sought out IU students with voter registration and early voting drives and a free Dave Matthews concert.

Robert Dion, a professor of American politics at the University of Evansville, said Obama has mounted an innovative campaign that's stressed early voting and his supporters appear more energized than those for Clinton.

"In a close race, modest advantages in organization can yield big results, and if Obama out-organizes the Clinton campaign on these absentee ballots, it would be a great boost to him," Dion said.

I told you his ground game was sick here in IN....and I'll be driving my brother to the poll at Hendrick's county tomorrow to get out HIS vote and do some work for the HQ here.

We're tryin' to make it happen for him here, ya'll.
