Indiana is a state divided into two time zones: Eastern and Central. The state’s 6,345,289 residents are not evenly divided between the two. The Central Time Zone is home to 1,299,403 Hoosiers, while the Eastern Time Zone houses 4,972,570.
The largest city is Indianapolis, which is in Eastern. The seventh largest city is Bloomington. Both of these cities are going to be heavy for Barack Obama.
The third and fifth largest cities, Evansville and Gary, are in the Central Time Zone, and are expected to also favor Obama. These two metropolitan areas have 1,048,688 of the residents in Central.
If CNN projects a winner between 6 and 7 PM tonight for Indiana, the Obama will not win the state. If, however, they need to hold off until 8 or 9 PM, then things are going well for him in the state.
We will see.
