Indiana officially became a battleground state in the contest for the presidency on Tuesday, with the Republican National Committee airing a television commercial in the state on behalf of John McCain, and Barack Obama's supporters calling local news conferences to dispute it.

"This race is competitive, and I know Obama thinks he can win in Indiana," said Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel, a Democrat and Obama supporter.

Depending on the poll, Obama either was slightly ahead or a hair behind McCain on Tuesday in Indiana, which has been colored red for Republican on national political maps for decades.
