Clinton headlining IN party fundraiser

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Former President Bill Clinton is headlining a fundraising dinner to benefit the Indiana Democratic Party.

Clinton's return to Indianapolis on Saturday follows dozens of campaign stops he made in Indiana last year on behalf of his wife Hillary, who narrowly beat Barack Obama in the state's Democratic primary.

Obama later became the first Democratic presidential candidate to win Indiana since 1964 -- providing a highlight for a party that has Sen. Evan Bayh as its only statewide office holder.

Clinton is to speak during the Jefferson Jackson Day dinner at the Marriott hotel in downtown Indianapolis. Party officials expect about 1,500 people to attend, with tickets costing $125 each.
