No one would ever have expected to see these five little words in print by a major news network: “crucial primary state of Indiana.” Will Republicans and independents make merry mischief in the Hoosier primary? We'll see. At least the New York Times finally made more nuanced observations about Indiana in recent days than it had before. Indeed, the Times has even taken note about how local races are being overshadowed by presidential politics. Not that most people in Indiana are even paying attention to the Gray Lady. But a Hoosier ex-pat living in Michigan seems to have gotten it just about right for the Washington Post is a short about the Hoosier state. Off course, it'll all be over Tuesday night when the results come in and the media spotlight will move on. But for a few short weeks, Indiana will have gotten its crucial close up, whether it was ready for it or not.
