Shelli Yoder... I want to help spread the word in my home state.

From the Daily Kos.

They have a very good diary highlighting the campaign of Shelli Yoder, who is the Democratic nominee for House District IN-9. This is a very rural, red, conservative area located in southern Indiana, about 2.5 hours south of Indianapolis. Her candidacy is important. We need more Dems and more women in congress.

The President had "the miracle of my" life when he won here 4 years ago. I never in million years thought it was possible. And Indiana was the only state Nate Silver missed in 2008, showing just how big a deal Obama winning here really was.

Obama will not win here in 2012. But we still have a shockingly competitive Senate race and many Dems are working hard in house races throughout the state to try and make Pelosi speaker again.

Here is some video of Shelli Yoder campaigning in Mitchell, Indiana.
