Odd how every "expert" underestimated Indiana...

[Bicoastal]

...Larry Sabato, Electoral-vote.com, Nate Silver, the people at Intrade, etc...all of them had Indiana down for a loss.

And he won!

[skooooo]

1. He won, but not by much..

.edit: won by 26K
I'm wondering when they are going to call NC finally. I think Obama's won that state too.

2. Most pollsters had it as a toss up really.

I'm actually surprised it went to Obama, it had been leaning slightly towards McCain of late..I think they probably had a higher Dem turnout than expected and a lower Dem turnout than expected.

3. There were gazillions of us volunteers out there in the last few months.

I'm proud to say I was one.

4. Thanks to the volunteers

and the fact that Hoosiers know a basketball player when they see one. :woohoo: WTG, Indiana!

5. We worked hard..and many "out of stater's" helped!

Thanx to all who made Indiana Blue for the 1st time in my 40 yr old life!

6. I think that was probably our biggest 'upset' or 'surprise' state, yeah!

7. I never thought I would see the day that Indiana would go blue.

I have some family background there, and have always seen the state as extremely redneck, backward, racist, etc. That they would vote not just for a Democrat, but for a Black Democrat, seems to me to be almost miraculous.

8. of MO and IN at 11 electoral votes each....

I thought we'd get MO. Indiana was a very pleasant surprise.
