I suspect Indiana is a better state for Romney demographically than Ohio, though not as good as Illinois. It's Butternut region is considerably less important than Ohio's, the Indianapolis metro area is a pretty big chunk of the total (which is a white collar town to boot), it has some Cincinnati exurbs, and the NW "Chicagoland" metro industrial zone and Catholic Ft. Bend should also be pretty good for Mittens. Also Evansville is not really a Butternut town. It like Cincinnati was once an anti-slavery German island in a sea of folks from Virginia who sounded like that, and still do to come extent.
I would be surprised some if Mittens does not come in first, particularly if Newt is still around and can still pull say 15% of the vote or more. Even 10% might be enough.
