Clinton, Obama face two pivotal primaries today
Most analysts are looking to Indiana as the bellwether for both candidates, because they entered the campaign in the Hoosier State almost tied in the polls and with strong bases of support.
As she did in Ohio and Pennsylvania earlier this spring, Clinton has cast herself as the champion of the working-class.
The strategy has been successful -- her support among non-college educated voters has grown steadily -- even though it has involved a degree of political reinvention.
Long a proponent of tough gun-control measures, Clinton has sought to woo Indiana gun owners by sending out a campaign mailer denouncing Obama for once supporting a ban on handguns.
She has also embraced the conservative media, which she once said was part of a "vast right-wing conspiracy" against her husband. Twice last week Clinton entered the conservative media's lion's den, appearing on Fox News' Bill O'Reilly show.
And when she lashed out last weekend at Wall Street "money-grubbers" -- even though her daughter works for a Manhattan hedge fund and some of her biggest fundraisers hail from New York's financial world -- Clinton's strategists joked about the contradiction. Said Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson: "Our supporters aren't the grubbers."
