honestly obama winning this state in 08 by 1% was one of the biggest shocks of the night imo, i donno how the gop ****ed up there
Quite a few cities with large black populations. There are almsot 1 million black citizens in Indianpapolis alone. Gary, IN is over 80% black. Then there is Fort Wayne and South Bend. Their turnout was high, Republican's was low. I don't see it happening this time though.
Romney will win IN and likely NC (especially since the Democratic governor is in trouble in the latter). VA, FL, OH, and in a competitive race, NH, are the keys to Romney's victory this election cycle.

Not too sure about that, but it should be rather close. NC is becoming more and more liberal as the years go by.
Gov. Perdue is not seeking re-election because of several issues, including sinking poll numbers and a campaign finance scandal. The Democrats are fighting for who to put up in November (right now, former Congressman Bob Etheridge is the favorite, after he was defeated in the 2010 elections from his long-held Congress seat). Republicans have already coalesced around Pat McCrory who battled it out close with Perdue in 2008. Latest polling shows McCrory way ahead of all of his challengers, including the favorite Etheridge.
Obama's victory in NC in 2008 was razor-thin - it resulted from heightened turnout among African Americans and the young. Those numbers will be depressed this year and with a closer-to-average electorate and turnout (perhaps conservatives a little more fired up, especially depending on the ACA Court decision), I think NC will tilt back to the Republicans this election cycle.

Do you ever stop just making up absolutely false claims?
The population of the entire state of Indiana is 6,484,000, and 9.1% of the state is African-American -- that's less than 600,000 in the entire state (compared to your bogus claim of 'almost 1 million blacks in Indianapolis alone'). Indiana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They got out every vote, from under every rock in both states and he won by a few thousands votes.
No way can he duplicate that enthusiasm again.

Indiana was a fluke. It looks like they're going to try to get NC again. They are, after all, having the convention in NC, and the "Obama Victory Fund" is providing funding for the NC Democratic Party, but not IN.
Growth in the RTP area is probably going to determine how the state ultimately goes.
