Barack Obama addressed 35,000 people in Indianapolis on Thursday before flying to Hawaii to see his ailing grandmother. The state hasn't voted for a Democrat since 1964, but that may soon change


The place alone said it all. Just 12 days before the US was to vote in an election that not long ago promised to be a squeaker, Barack Obama was addressing 35,000 people packed into a square in downtown Indianapolis, capital of a state that hasn't voted for a Democrat since 1964.

Indiana was the last stop before he broke off campaigning to travel to Hawaii to say a final goodbye to his beloved grandmother, so ill she might not survive to witness the incredible moment when, if polls are correct, an African-American wins the presidency. Some inevitably saw the gesture as a political ploy, to underline the importance he attaches to family, and to remind wavering voters of the white side of his ancestry. One thing, however, is certain. Had this election had been on a knife edge, he would never have made the trip.
