Smooth voting in Indiana this morning at the dim hour of 6:10am. There was a healthy line, but nothing surprising. The whole process took about 20 minutes. Everyone was in good spirits except for one grumpy man who, seeing the line, walked out and declared to poll workers he'd come back later. Somehow I think the line will be longer later today.

Hearing the pundits this morning, it looks like we have the choice of several historic parallels. Will we see:

A repeat of 1996, a solid Democratic victory?
A repeat of 1964, a Democratic landslide?
A repeat of 1976, a Democratic squeaker?
A repeat of 1948, a poll defying victory?

I'm betting on something between '76 and '96?
