I spent some time in Downtown Indianapolis 2 years ago while attending a conference. I was amazed at the conservative feel of the downtown area (compared to any other big city downtown I have been to.)
I saw very little:
-anarchist type people
-evidence of a strong gay community.
-public indecency
-alternative lifestyle/weird hippy stuff. You know the shops, street vendors, etc..
And a lot of:
-churches
-families
-clean streets.
As a lifelong west coaster (spent most of childhood in Portland and Eugene) it was stange for me to see a city this large with such a conservative feel.
No wonder the state is so conservative.
Also, in response to other posts, Muncie, Anderson, and Ft. Wayne are big-time blue-collar towns. They each have huge GM factories. But they are still Republican.
It's just a conservative state.
