This state could become a battleground *IF* Senator Evan Bayh joins the Obama ticket but that does not seem likely at this point, at least based on comments from Bayh.
President: With Bayh on the ticket it would be a tossup but otherwise this is solid for McCain. Democrats only win the state in landslide years.
Safe Republican
Governor: At one point incumbent Mitch Daniels looked to be vulnerable but his poll ratings have rebounded and he never lost the lead in the election matchups. Veteran Democrat Jill Long Thompson will try to change that but I think she won’t be able to.
Republican Favored
House: Democrats should keep the 1st, 2nd, 7th and 8th while Republicans are secure in the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th.
In the 9th District incumbent Baron Hill (D) will repeat his 2006 race with former incumbent Mark Sodrel and while the same outcome is likely, this is one of the few GOP targets so they will pour the money in.
