...Jefferson-Jackson dinner from an 800-seat ballroom at the downtown Indianapolis Marriott to the city's convention center, where she expects more than 2,500 people will attend. In the last week, more than 1,000 new donations have come through the committee's website, many from Hamilton County, the affluent, Republican-dominated northern Indianapolis suburb where Obama has been campaigning fiercely. Given the new donations, she says, "There's going to be a lot of switchover voters, and that's been bit of a hot topic...
...polls surveying this state's electorate puts Obama slightly ahead of Clinton, 40% to 35%. He is expected to win Indianapolis, given its significant black population, and he may do well in the city's so-called collar counties, like Hamilton.

The characterization is as shallow as the glitzy lifestyle the students pursue, but a few strong performances, appealing visuals, and an exciting plot make the film enjoyable, although...
...Hamilton has said that while he has no desire to waste his life, he's never felt afraid while racing cars. Pre-season testing without traction control, however, whitened his knuckles a little. "It does make it a little more tense on corner entry," he said after a session in Jerez, Spain. But after victory in Melbourne, Hamilton was a convert: "This is real racing," he said. "It is how it should...
