Strong Obama Start in Indiana Results

Early results from the polls that have already closed in Indiana show Sen. Barack Obama leading Sen. John McCain, 50 percent to 49 percent, at 6:45 p.m. Eastern. This result, which represents only two percent of the state total, comes from rural areas in which the GOP outnumber Democrats by 3 to 1.

If these trends were to continue for the rest of the night, it's going to be a short evening. Obama was expected to trail early in Indiana and catch up when polls close in the western portion of the state at 7 p.m. Eastern. McCain was supposed to be strong in the rural areas while Obama was to fare well in Gary.
