I was afraid this was going to happen....
The Indy Star Blog is running with this article, titled:
"'Hardcore' Republicans voting Democrat"
10:51 AM --
The two precincts at Broad Ripple Family Center selected Republican Jon Elrod over Democrat Andre Carson in March's special election for U.S. Congress. But by 9 a.m., just 21 voters in one of those precincts had requested Republican ballots -- out of 168 cast.
Amid heavy turnout, Republicans appeared to be crossing over in droves today in Marion County and suburban counties, where fewer Republican voters might impact down-ticket primary races.

HUGE turnout reported all over the state, with some precincts already at 20%.
There is other stuff about Democratic Voters, but these are the key quotes:
Jim Adams, 36, voted for Hillary Clinton to keep the race going beyond Indiana. He's a McCain backer and enjoys watching the Democrats fight.
"In the end, I think McCain is going to win," Adams said, and then referred to controversial statements by Bill Clinton and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor. "Bill can't keep his mouth shut, and the reverend can't keep his mouth shut."
The Republican strongholds in the counties around Indianapolis have high demand for Democrat ballots.
"We've seen more Democrats so far in the first few hours than we'll usually see in a day," said election judge Barb Stauch at Avon United Methodist Church in Hendricks County.
"We've had a lot of questions about switching. People want to know if they can switch back and forth, if they can vote Democratic this time," said election clerk Cara Paasch at the church.
More on this as it becomes available....
