Report: Republicans Going Up On The Air In Indiana
By Greg Sargent - September 26, 2008, 3:40PM
Ben Smith reports that the Republican National Committee is going to sink some six-figure advertising cash into Indiana, a state where Obama's been making a heavy play.

With its own polling presumably confirming public polls showing Obama seriously competitive in Indiana, which hasn't gone Democratic since 1964, the Republicans are being stretched thinner than they would like. Meanwhile, elements of Obama's attempt to expand the map appear to be succeeding, at least by a preliminary measure: He's making the GOP spend money.
One other quick point: The McCain bounce after the convention and the Palin announcement appeared to manifest itself by shrinking the map: Obama pulled staff out of North Dakota, and pulled his ads in Georgia. But, in another measure of how quickly the McCain bounce evaporated amid the economic meltdown, to be replaced by an Obama surge, we're seeing very real signs that the map has expanded again. Obama's gaining in Virginia, has taken the lead in Colorado, and the Repubs are panicked about Indiana.
Not a bad place to be as we head into the debates.
