I will delete this if it has been already posted, but I didn't see a Diary on it already.

Indiana is a swing state this year.

The latest poll today out of Indiana by the pollster Rasmussen (which has a slight Republican tilt) puts McCain up by 2:

McCain (R) 49%, Obama (D) 47%

I thought this was notable from the blurb on the poll:

McCain is viewed favorably by 61% of Indiana voters, down four points from a month ago.

Obama earns positive reviews from 54%, up two points.

Obama is supported by 92% of Democrats, McCain by 85% of Republicans. The two candidates are even among unaffiliated voters.

Keep up the great work, Indiana Dems!!!

This is my first diary on Daily Kos. As a physicist, I was originally planning on going through the reasons why Rethuglycans not only don't get science, but also how they don't get scientists and the way science is done. I was really looking forward to that. I was going to reference Robert Solow's Nobel-prize winning work on how technology helps drive the economy, how scientists do not work in ways that adhere to an open market philosophy, and... well, I'm gonna have to save it for a later diary, because a far more important necessity has reared its ugly head: combating Sarah Palin and the McCain Lie Machine (TM).

There's an awful lot of panic and near defeatism permeating this page since those folks found their voice. Damnit, let's make all this energy proactive!

So, that's why I'm just a few mouse clicks away from buying a plane ticket to Colorado for the week leading up to the election. I haven't taken a day off all year and I hear that it's just a lovely, awesome place, full of swing voters.
