The Indiana primary election is being held today and the voting is under way.  The polls opened at 6am this morning and voting will continue until 6pm.  I was amazed at the excitement I saw this morning from Barack Obama supporters. On my way driving into Fort Wayne at 6:30am  I was greeted on several street corners by Barack Obama supporters jumping, shouting and waving campaign signs.  “Honk for change” was one in particular that caught my eye as I wondered what the neighborhood thought about people honking as they drove by at 6am.  It is very refreshing to see the excitement over this years Indiana primary elections.  If you need more information about where to vote you can go to the Indiana Voters Site

Indiana prepares for their primary elections on May 6th.  Unlike years past Indiana voters can actually make a difference this year in determining the Democratic Party candidate for President.  I urge all Decatur Indiana voters to plan on taking advantage of this opportunity to serve your country and participate in this years primary election.  You can find your voter registration status and polling locations at the Indiana Election Board website or call Hoosier Voter Hotline at 1-866-IN-1-VOTE (866-461-8683). This years primary election is particularly interesting as the race for the Democratic  Presidential candidate is really close.  North Carolina will also be holding their primary elections on May 6th. Unlike Florida and Michigan who’s votes wont count this year toward the Democratic Party nomination, North Carolina and Indiana will be playing a huge part in this process.  I find it a bit humorous that the Democrat party that raised a ruckus over counting the popular vote during the hanging chad scandal, will actually dismiss the votes of 2 entire states because they changed the dates of their primary elections.  Doesn’t seem to me that the date of a State’s primary election should have anything to do with it.  I’m sure this will come back to haunt them as we continue on towards the November Presidential elections.
