INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Democratic Sen. Barack Obama flew to Indianapolis late Tuesday morning to make some last-minute phone calls to voters.
Obama arrived at Indianapolis International Airport around 10:30 a.m. and headed to a nearby United Auto Workers Local 550 “Get Out the Vote” call center. He stayed there about 45 minutes and made 13 phone calls.
Obama then planned to return to Chicago to play a voting-day game of basketball with friends and staff – a habit he liked to stick to in the primaries for good luck – before watching returns at a hotel room.
After the race is called, he planned to address supporters from a stage built especially for the occasion in Chicago’s Grant Park.
Polls showed Obama and Republican John McCain to be in a dead heat in Indiana as the election neared. Democrats hope to claim their first presidential victory in the state since Indiana chose Lyndon Johnson in 1964.
