After her decisive win in Pennsylvania, Hillary Clinton shows no signs of withdrawing her bid for the Presidential Democratic Nominee versus Barack Obama. We leave the Keystone State with it's cast of characters including Michael Nutter, Ed Rendell and Bob Casey; and move on to the remaining contests. Indiana is one of next states given a chance to be heard in the Democratic Party's pick in the upcoming contests on May 6th. Both candidates have local support in the state with one of Barack Obama's main backers being Former House Representative, Tim Roemer; and one of Hillary Clinton's surrogates being Senator Evan Bayh. The excitement for the Hoosier primary is high with the Secretary of State reporting having more than 4,260,000 total registered voters; a 332,679 person increase since the 2006 election, with almost half of these new voices registering within the last four months. Indiana polls as of April 16 show Hillary Clinton ahead of Barack Obama 46.0% to 43.8% in the Real Clear Politics Average. Indiana may be considered historically as a more moderate Democratic state with George W. Bush easily defeating John Kerry with 60% of the vote in the 2004 Presidential race. Responders to a 2004 Indiana voter exit poll cited "Moral Values" to be their most important issue. Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have moderate Democratic surrogates within the state. Tim Roemer, a former U.S. House member representing Indiana's North East corner including Fort Wayne, is on Obama's Hoosier Leadership Committee and may be considered on the list of nominees for Vice-President. In his endorsement statement, Roemer noted that Obama can "build a broad coalition of Democrats, independents and Republicans across blue states and red states." Roemer is the current president of a Washington based foreign affairs think-tank, The Center for National Policy, and is also a member of the 9/11 Committee, along with fellow Indiana Obama supporter, Lee Hamilton. Senator Evan Bayh is Hillary Clinton's national Campaign Co-Chair. While announcing his endorsement in last year, the former Secretary of State and two time Governor of the Indiana highlighted working with Clinton on the Senate Armed Forces Committee and says he is confident that Hillary will "appeal to all corners of America, emphasizing national security and middle class economic progress."Related Links:Real Clear Politics: Indiana PollIndiana Secretary of State: Voter Registration Numbers Increase by the Thousands CNN: 2004 Indiana Vote Hillary Clinton:hillaryclinton.com: Evan Bayh EndorsementSenate.gov: Bayh, Clinton Call for More Troops in Afghanistan Barack Obama:barackobama.com: Tim Roemer Endorsement Tristate Homepage: Mayor, Other Local Officials on Obama TeamOfficial Site: 9/11 Commission Washington Post:Roemer: Obama VP Spread The News!
