What's going on in Indiana ?
Indiana GOPers 'Rush' to vote Democrat
Posted May 6, 2008 2:30 PM

There are signs that Republican voters may be turning out in force to
vote for a Democrat in Indiana's open primary elections today.
And that Democrat, for any voters following the marching orders of
Rush Limbaugh looking for some havoc in the Democratic Party and a
boost for the Republicans in November, could be Hillary Clinton. But
then again, some of the Republicans around Indianapolis say they are
voting for Barack Obama.
"Democratic ballots are popular even in southern Marion County
precincts, normally Republican strongholds,'' the Indianapolis Star
reports. "The turnout has prompted some nervous poll workers to call
an Election Board hotline with worries about Democratic ballots
running short, though none have run out yet.
Two precincts at a family center had selected Republican Jon Elrod
over Democrat Andre Carson in March's special election for Congress,
the Star notes. But by 9 a.m. today, just 21 voters in one of those
precincts had requested Republican ballots -- out of 168 cast.
Among them was Meghan Ward-Bopp, 24, who went against family tradition
and asked for Democratic ballot so she could vote for Barack Obama;
she plans to vote for Republican John McCain in November.
"I'm a hardcore Republican," she said, "but it's about who I wanted in
second place in case McCain doesn't make it. ... I don't like the way
this country's been run in the last 20 years. I'm sick of the dynasty
(of two families) that's been running things."
Jim Adams, 36, voted for Clinton "to keep the race going beyond
Indiana,'' the Star reports. "He's a McCain backer and enjoys watching
the Democrats fight.''
"In the end, I think McCain is going to win," Adams told the paper.
Kate Hayward left the center wearing a T-shirt: "Another Mama for
Obama."
Her husband, a Republican, also voted for Obama, she said.
The Republican strongholds in the counties around Indianapolis have
high demand for Democrat ballots.
"We've seen more Democrats so far in the first few hours than we'll
usually see in a day," said election judge Barb Stauch at Avon United
Methodist Church in Hendricks County.
"We've had a lot of questions about switching. People want to know if
they can switch back and forth, if they can vote Democratic this
time," said election clerk Cara Paasch at the church.
Democract Liisa Le, 45, voted at the church this morning. She said she
was most interested in the presidential primary and the Avon School
Board race.
"The issues facing this country are huge. The economy, the problems
with gas, the problems with real estate, the problems with food
prices ... must I go on?" said Le, a stay-at-home mother.
