Once again, an A-Rod got an unfriendly welcome from the home of Red Sox Nation. This time, it was 13-year-old Alexa Rodriguez and not the Yankees All-Star third baseman Alex Rodriguez.

Obama and Clinton tied in Indiana

CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive – Poll: Clinton, Obama tied in Indiana « – Blogs from CNN.com:

A new statewide poll in Indiana shows a statistical dead heat between Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ahead of the state’s May 6 primary. The poll, conducted from March 31 through April 2 by Research 2000, shows 49 percent of the likely Democratic voters would favor Clinton and 46 percent would favor Obama if the states primary were held today.

Good news for Obama.  He’s continuing to make gains in PA and NC looks like it might be a landslide for him.  Given Hillary’s stubborness so far, IN will probably be the next battleground as I blogged about the other day.
