Hoosiers - the ball is in your court

avatar


They needed a second chance to finish first.
That's the tagline from the 1986 movie "Hoosiers"-
The story of the improbable 1954 Indiana High School basketball team than went all the way to the State Championship

And this is where we are today -- in the democratic primary race (okay the third chance - but you get the metaphor)

As in Pennsylvania when the democratic establishment ran the table for Hillary Clinton - Obama supporters need to help overcome this in Indiana-

Yes Sen Clinton has Evan Bayh - with deep family roots and as a former Gov as well as serving Senator but this is what Obama has going for him in Indiana

1: Proximity to Illinois
2: Open Primary
3: Under 10% African American population (read David Sirota theory - Obama won all states with African American population under 9% and over 20% - it;s that middle ground where he has issues)
4: BIG College population
and don't laugh
5: He got game

Obama needs to win both the NC and Indiana primaries on May 6th to give cover to the undecided (aka chickensh%#T) super delegates to give cover to the Reid/Pelosi/Dean group to push the supers and shut this thing down.

We need to help - this has to stop- the MSM has turned on Obama and have fallen for the fighter/populist Clinton new baloney -- Hillary as the new champion of the people

Listed below are the sites for the Indiana newspapers and blogs:

YOU WILL BE SHOCKED HOW SEN CLINTON HAS SO MUCH LOCAL PRESS AND SEN OBAMA SO LITTLE - we need to even that out

Let our voices be heard - write letters to the editors - write opinions - get the TRUTH out there

They were slow to start but the Clinton machine is in full alert

LET'S NOT FORGET WHO REALLY IS THE UNDERDOG IN THIS FIGHT

Obama will not get into the mud - it just is not who he is or who he wants to be-- BUT WE CAN

Obama -08 (otherwise we are looking at McCain 08 - we all know how badly the RNC wants Hillary)

PLEASE HELP!

THIS MADNESS HAS TO END

Wow, Alison. I just clicked your links to the local newspapers and I see what you mean here. How have editorials been trending, and endorsements?

Hi Anna

the Indiana papers haven't endorsed yet - but the editorial boards don't always reflect the pool reporters

We need to get an OBAMA presence there--
thx
