With a governor like Mike Pence and a legislature that can draft legislation like their late unlamented Ban the Gays law, I don't think so. Pence has endorsed Cruz.

Bernie is down by about 7 points in the polls.

It's a long shot, but if he manages to pull out a win tonight I'll send him another $50 bucks.

Hey GOP! You wanna know why Trump is leading in the polls, and will take Indiana tonight? Its right here:
And outsider status is important to Indiana's voters: 59 percent said they want the next president to "be outside politics," compared with 36 percent said it was more important to "have political experience." More than half of GOP voters, 53 percent, said they felt "betrayed" by the Republican Party.

That "outsider" thing bodes well for Bernie too.

Like the rest of the Republican party, he's salivating at the chance to run against Sanders instead of Clinton.
