MSNBC's First Read offers their latest sate-by-state breakdown, and most interesting to Hoosiers is the shift of our little corner of the midwest to the "toss-up" category. Quoth the network:
Hoosier toss-up: The most surprising move in our map is Indiana, a state that no one believed was a new battleground -- even when Obama's team was first laying out its 25-30 state strategy. Indiana, in fact, is probably the surprise of the cycle. It's a state that probably is somewhere BETWEEN Lean McCain and Toss-up, but because the state's poll numbers look more like a Toss-up state than a Lean McCain state, we're tipping it into the Toss-up category for now, especially since the RNC has decided to ad the state to its TV buy list.
John McCain and the national GOP, meanwhile, have announced a $740,000 ad buy in our state that will start tomorrow. Something tells me the message of desperation invading our prime-time pictures will be heavy on the Rovian politics that John McCain and his band of mavericks have embraced.
