DEMOCRATS
1964: Pro-segregationalist and former Alabama Gov. George Wallace made news in Indiana's Democratic primary by winning nearly one-third of the vote -- 29.8 percent -- a number which surprised some observers of the northern state. According to The New York Times, Wallace's support in Indiana, and in the Wisconsin primary, illustrated the "extent of fears" among whites about the race issue.
1968: Indiana's primary was the first test for the presidential campaign of New York Sen. Robert Kennedy, who had entered the race late. Winning 42 percent of the vote, Kennedy defeated Minnesota Sen. Eugene McCarthy and Indiana's governor. Kennedy also made news during his Indiana campaign when he appealed for calm at a rally hours after the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
1984: Primary battles between former Vice President Walter Mondale and Colorado Sen. Gary Hart took a twist in Indiana and neighboring Ohio. Hart's narrow victories in the two major industrial states kept his flagging campaign alive and delayed Mondale's eventual clinch of the nomination. A sex scandal eventually forced Hart to drop out of the race.
REPUBLICANS
2000: Texas Gov. George W. Bush was pummeling Arizona Sen. John McCain in their battle for the GOP nomination. Voters in May 2 primaries overwhelmingly cast ballots for Bush in three states -- including Indiana -- where he won with 81 percent. A week later, McCain virtually dropped out of the race by endorsing Bush.
