If Obama really won the general election in Indiana owing to its proximity to Chicago, why is it that Hillary won the Indiana primary, when a myriad of Democratic Hoosiers live in the 1st congressional district, where the Chicago media market exerts its biggest influence?

Obama campaigned incredibly well in the rust belt, in both 2008 and 2012.

Combine that with a national environment where Republicans were loathed and blamed for the recession, and it puts Obama over the top in states like Indiana and Ohio.

And yet he still lost "The Nation's Bellwether" to McCain.

Albeit very, very narrowly. And only if you refer to the bellwether state.
As regards the bellwether county, he won it either time.
