An estimated 1,600 people attended a town hall meeting in Elkhart, Indiana to hear Sen. Obama, who was joined by Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh, lay out his New Energy Plan for America, and engage him with some questions.
After the town hall, Sen. Obama stopped by Schoops diner in Portage to discuss issues with residents of the area.
Here is the day in pictures:

Last week, Indianapolis was host to Black Expo, the largest event of its kind in the Nation. Barack's Campaign for Change had a strong presence there, registering voters, and signing up volunteers.

The 4th of July weekend is the perfect occasion to help more Americans get engaged in the political process. That's what Spencer in West Lafayette says:
"What better time to convince people to register to vote? It a civic and patriotic duty to vote in our democracy and that will be on people's minds this July 4."
And he's pretty sure he's got the perfect location, too:
"Our registration drive is at Slayter Hill on Purdue's campus. Tens of thousands from West Lafayette, Lafayette, and the rest of the county go there each July 4 for a free concert and to watch the fireworks show, so it's an ideal location to get face-to-face contact with new voters."
Today the Campaign for Change in Indiana announced a list of over 15 cities across the state where voter registration events will be taking place. Johnathon and his fellow supporters will be doing there part to lend a hand:
"We have a diverse grassroots organization of Obama supporters from the primary as well as former Clinton volunteers helping us out, all in the name of expanding the electorate and bringing more people into the political system."

Excitement is continuing to build around the list of key staffers being placed in Indiana. Following the Buzz surrounding the selection of Emily Parcell, Political Director in the key Iowa caucus campaign, to serve as Indiana's state Director, and the decision to bring native son Rohan Patel back to reprise his role as Political Director, Hoosiers were excited to read this in The Times of Northwest Indiana:
Barack Obama has hired an aide to U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., to be his presidential campaign spokesman in Indiana. Jonathan Swain, Bayh's press secretary, took a leave of absence earlier this year to serve as Indiana communications director for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. Swain joined the Obama campaign on Monday. "We are honored to have Jonathan joining this campaign for change in Indiana," Emily Parcell, Obama's Indiana state director, said in a statement. "His many years of experience in Indiana politics will be a major asset to our campaign team. Senator Obama is in a strong position in Indiana and intends to compete for every single vote in the Hoosier state - where voters are hungry for the kind of change Barack Obama represents."

Emily is not alone in her belief that Indiana is ready for a change. Read what Brian Howey, of HPI Weekly had to say:
Come next November, can Barack Obama carry Indiana and its 11 Electoral College votes? Yes he can... There was a record 1.7 million turnout in the May primary, including 1.3 million who voted Democratic. The Obama campaign registered at least 90,000 new voters and has a goal of registering 100,000 more Hoosiers between now and October. "It's a new year," said Michael Davis of Gauge Market Research. ...Indiana is no longer an automatic red state. Six months ago I would have said I'd be shocked if Obama would carry the state. But today I would not." Chris Sautter, an Indiana native and Washington political media consultant, said, "I think the vast majority who voted in the primary will vote Democratic in the general. And there's more. The Obama people are coming back in."
