Yesterday, John McCain made a brief pitstop in Indianapolis. But today, after voting this morning in Chicago, Barack Obama headed across the border for one last appearance, his 49th stop in the Hoosier State since the campaign began:
"I think we can win Indiana, otherwise I wouldn't be in Indiana," Obama told a reporter at an Indianapolis union hall this morning. Indianapolis was his only campaign stop outside of Illinois today.
Obama visited the United Auto Workers Local 550, 2344 S. Tibbs Ave., where a get-out-the-vote effort was under way. About 20 people worked telephones trying to convince voters to get to the polls.
The first-term Illinois senator helped out on 13 calls.
While talking to one voter, Obama said, " Well, I'll tell you I think we have a great chance in Indiana."
