Just got back from a Indiana Democratic district fundraiser this evening.

There was a straw poll taken between Clinton and Sanders. Amazingly, out of about 250 that voted Hillary beat out Sanders by about 5 votes. Attendees were mainly from about 12 counties.

So maybe the primary will be much closer than expected. Based on Nate Silver's Democratic demographic analysis I was expecting Indiana to go Sanders between 10 to 15 percent.

But it should be definitive if Hillary wins Indiana.

Not likely I don't think for many crossovers for this one. Either Republicans are crazy enough to vote their choices or they stay away.
