In Ken Phillips' book, "The Emerging Republican Majority", he goes into the details of the demographics of Indiana, and how it's much more like the south than either Ohio or Illinois, and its voting patterns have reflected that. When the south voted Democratic, Indiana voted Democratic, and vice versa re: Republicans.
But that's history. Immigration patterns - and changes in voting patterns from one generation to the next - are changing Indiana. Not dissimilar to what's been going on in Virginia, North Carolina (see this year's results), and Georgia (check this space in 8 years).
