...Clinton has some friends in Indiana too. She has the support of the biggest name in Indiana Democratic politics, Senator (and former governor) Evan Bayh. Congressional sources say pressure from Bayh is the main reason that four of the five Indiana House Democrats - all of them superdelegates - have remained uncommitted in the race. While the Clinton campaign's internal polling shows Obama ahead, two sources say, she is beginning to close the gap. Working-class whites, who accounted for her victories in Ohio and Pennsylvania, number high among the undecided in Indiana. She also runs stronger with conservatives, which helps...
...Despite Clinton's derision of Obama as an elitist in recent days, her Indiana strategy has been hinged on winning the support of the state's political establishment.

The Senator has succeeded in requiring the Army to make sure wounded soldiers are sent to the "most appropriate" facility...
...questioning himself and others more rigorously than previously." Rumsfeld told Senators that he intends to keep his job, but he betrayed doubts about his future. "If I felt I could not be effective, I'd resign in a minute," he said. Asked by Indiana Senator Evan Bayh whether it "would serve to demonstrate how seriously we take the situation" if he were to step down, Rumsfeld responded, "That's possible." Evidence that further abuses took place under his watch could well raise the pressure on him to resign. To see if more probes should be initiated, Rumsfeld plans to appoint...
