Enormous margins in the Democratic centers of the state and a blue collar revolt after the Lehman collapse. This was before the map fully transformed to rural GOP blowouts, and McCain wasn't playing a social conservative character like Bush. McCain just represented the worst of the status quo to Indianans- all the war and the economic hardship without the red meat. Combine that with the fact that Obama already had a strong presence in the area and it was the perfect storm.
