The race for the Democratic nomination for president has entered the fourth quarter, but a winner has yet to emerge. So it was a relief to find sports columnist Mike Lopresti on Page One of today's Indianapolis Star.
Lopresti, an Indiana resident, says his fellow Hoosiers are ready for the onslaught of campaigning in advance of the state's May 6 primary.
He writes in a column titled "We're ready for our close-up": "Curious, that this state is something of a high noon for the Democrats. When it comes to choosing presidents, Indiana is considered redder than ketchup. We're one of those states where the polls close at 6 p.m., and the networks make a projection at 6:02. Lyndon Johnson is the only Democrat to carry Indiana since 1936, and his election was 44 years ago. Since then, the state has been as Republican as a Bush family picnic. So this is kind of like the Ohio State Board of Regents meeting in Ann Arbor to decide on its next football coach."
