If Barack Obama wins Ohio some Indiana Democrats will have the right to claim credit, at least a little credit, anyway. 

Indiana Obama coordinator Kip Tew is one of more than 20 Indiana Obama supporters who traveled to Dayton on Saturday.  They went door to door passing out campaign materials and encouraging a vote for the Illinois Senator.

Both Tew and former Indiana legislator Bob Kuzman report being impressed by the level of organization in the Obama campaign. 

(Joe Hogsett says the Hillary Clinton campaign did an e-mail push to encourage similar activity by Indiana Clinton volunteers.  He doesn’t know how many took part, though some did.)

• Brian Bosma taking Greg Ballard in to see House Speaker Pat Bauer.  Ballard returned about a minute later, alone, saying the Speaker was polite.
• Greg Porter deflecting questions about a possible run for Congress in the 7th District.  “I have a Congresswoman,” said Porter.
• Carolene Mays deflecting the same question.
• A full gallery in the House with lots of auto workers, motorcyclists and Farm Bureau members in attendance.
• A new refrigerator holding soft drinks for House Members complete with a sign telling staffers to stay away.
• Farm Bureau handing out clocks to lawmakers as a reminder that its time for property tax reform, supporters of the Hoosier Heartland highway handing out coffee cups.
• Bob Kuzman working as a lobbyist for the first time.
