Not what they expected

By Nick Wallace · Tuesday, Nov. 11,2008 10:12 p.m.

The coverage brought political candidates to rallies in the Hoosier state and engaged residents in the election process.The elections gave Indiana the chance to make its mark on the rest of the nation. For the first time in years, we were considered a swing state, and presidential candidates ran ads here. And even though Indiana hadn’t gone blue since Lyndon B. Johnson ran for office in 1964 , we were once again on the map in yellow, instead of dark red, during the final weeks of the campaign.

The culture wars continue

Tuesday, Nov. 11,2008 10:06 p.m.

Nov. 4 was a bittersweet day for many. The election of Barack Obama, a black man, was a sign of major social progress. However, there was a measure that passed in the West Coast that effectively stripped many of their rights. That measure was Proposition 8, an amendment that added 14 words to the state constitution defining valid marriage as between a man and a woman. In a 52 to 48 percent vote, California voted in favor of Proposition 8. In effect, this measure halted the four-month period of time where homosexuals could legally wed in the state. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints spearheaded the proposition, along with other Catholic and evangelical interest groups. Together supporters of Proposition 8 raised nearly $38 million.
