Concerning Indiana might go Obama, you realize this quote is going to haunt you!

I think it's unlikely Obama will make up the 40k vote gap, however he will put it close enough to even that she can't hype anything.

[from the live discussion on washingtonpost.com]

Robert G. Kaiser: We've just heard that we shouldn't expect a final count from Gary (Still no votes in--an Obama stronghold) until 11 p.m. EDT. So I think we'll wrap this up now.

My summation: The Clinton camp thought it had momentum tonight; it counted on a clear, early-declared win in Indiana and a closer-than-expected race in North Carolina. The outcomes in both states were, effectively, the opposite of what they hoped for. Whatever advantage they got out of Pennsylvania has now disappeared, I think. Obama is restored as the clear front-runner. Once again, this remarkable race has taken an unexpected turn. This might have been the last one. Thanks to all for taking part. Good night.

A-men!

It doesn't matter either way though. IRB has already proven that hes an extremist person with a lot of bottled up hatred for people in his own political party. But obama might make up the margin, you never know.

I actually wonder if Rush Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos" won this for Hillary.

Boy, I'm glad IRB doesn't hold a national position in the democratic party (as far as we know at least)

Yeah...go rot in your coal mines next to all the people from Pennsylvania. Fuck em!

Gary is a city very close to Chicago and has a population that's 84% African American. I don't think Obama will overtake Hillary but she will not pick up any lead in popular vote or delegates (she may get one more) from Indiana. Hopefully this is the final blow but I think she will take this to the convention.

rush is so awesome, i love listening to his show because he spends the majority of it talking about how awesome he is and maybe 10 percent talking about anything that actually matters.

Lake County is heavily black, and will cast between 70k and 110k votes, so it is very possible for Obama to win Indiana, although in a squeaker, after all.

An NC State logo? You're in no position to call anyone a backwoods dumb fuck. Thank God the only Carolinians that would make it into positions of power in an Obama administration had the good sense to get into UNC.

Obama cut the lead to ~20,000 with only 28% reporting from Lake County. He currently is getting 3 votes of every 4.

Obama already congratulated Hillary on her win though. No backsies!

We don't play by Bush league rules here.

Lead for Clinton is down to 16609 with about 65000 votes left to go approx. With Obama winning in Lake 65% to 35%. By those numbers Obama will get about 42250 votes to Clinton's 22750, making the final tally 2891 votes in the lead for Obama.
