The program is underway at the Barack Obama rally with Indiana Democratic candidates on stage including Congressman Baron Hill who was introduced by the PA announcer as “Bill” Hill.  That’s a name ID problem.

Jill Long Thompson can drive a tractor, according to Linda Pence’s introduction of her.  Long Thompson recites much of her current TV ad without a reference to “George Bush economics,” or a direct reference to Governor Mitch Daniels.

Baron Hill says he’s never spoken to this many people before, says it makes him nervous.  Hill adds accurately, “This is all new, folks,”  in reference to Obama’s chance to win Indiana.
