Associated Press Indianapolis President Bush's popularity may be sagging, but a presidential visit Friday is still bound to boost U.S. Rep. Mike Sodfel's re-election chances, political analysts say. "It's still an advantage," said Bill Blomquist, a political scientist at Indiana' University-Purdue University at Indianapolis. "It would have been greater in 2002 or 2004 than it will be in 2006, but I am sure that the Sodrel campaign would rather have a visit than Gov.

Mitch Daniels said Thursday that even Indiana residents who disagree with Bush's policies can respect his sincerity and courage of conviction. "Those are qualities Hoosiers tend to appreciate in a president, and I think they do in this one," said Daniels, a former Bush budget director. i Bush's visit to a Sodrel fundraiser for could bring in more than $500,000 a boon for the freshman Republican in a race expected to be one of the closest in the country. "We've reached the point in the U.S. Congress where even though there are 435 House districts up for re-election this year, there are only about 20 of them where both parties have a reasonable chance of winning.

It. happens that in Indiana, we have two of those, the 8th and the Blomquist said. 1 Barring primary upsets, the Nov. 7 election will be the third time Sodrel has faced former Democratic Rep. Baron Hill in southern Indiana's 9th Congressional District.

In 2002, Hill narrowly beat Sodrel. In 2004, Sodrel defeated Hill by fewer than ,500 votes. This year's race has been tagged as a toss-up by some political observers as the GOP fights to retain control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Tickets to Friday's event at the Murat Centre in Indianapolis start at $1,000, but guests can pay more to attend a VIP reception or business roundtable leading Republicans to believe they will take in at least $500,000.

Bush's visit could give Sodrel a financial advantage over Hill come November. "Nobody can attract more money than a sitting president," said, Robert Dion, who teaches American politics at the University of Evansville. Viva F. Tricschman Gilpin Viva F.
