As a resident of Indiana, it matters to me. At least, me and my fellow Hoosiers don't have to share in the shame of being a blue state.
So did it truly switch or not? I’m a native Hoosier myself and feel as you do about the shame of Indiana turning blue.
All the legal votes should be counted ;it makes a great deal of difference in perceptions if another 44 electoral votes went to McCain.The smaller the margin of victory the fewer will see it as a mandate for drastic change.

I would tend to agree. The local pravda here, the KC star is lamenting the fact that Missouri has somehow lost its “bellweather” status since they went with McCain. I, for one, am proud of that fact. Would rather have my state lose that status than to know they went for he who shall not be named.
