Remember when Obama lost the popular votes in Nevada but came out with a lead in delegates?
It might happen again in Indiana. Here's the Wall Street Journal:
Interestingly, Downs said that if Clinton takes the state by just a sliver, it could be another instance of a near-even split of delegates. Because of Democratic delegate allotment rules — which reward loyal democratic strongholds —...
Here's the Indiana results at the Secretary of State's office. With much of the state's vote in, Clinton has an approximately 12,000 vote lead statewide. The website says that Lake County, home of Gary, Indiana, just over the border from Chicago's deep Southeast Side, hasn't been counted.
Seriously, I'd have a pretty bad stomach ache right now if I was working in the Clinton camp.
CBS News may have called Indiana for Clinton--which is still debatable--but she got trounced in North Carolina, and she didn't do what she needed to do, namely keep it close in North Carolina and win convincingly in Indiana. Obama has found his voice again, giving a speech that reached out to Clinton supporters, while also lifting up the Democratic party. We'll see what Clinton says, and what...
Obama just suggested that Senator Clinton probably has won Indiana; at CBS News, they seem to agree. But no one else does.
I don't think he should have said that. In fact, I think he should not have spoken until there was some level of resolution in the state.
She probably will win a majority in the state. But getting up and saying, "Hillary won 50+1 - so much for a decisive win," would...
If you are a Republican stalwart tonight in Indiana or North Carolina, you turn up to show your support for your presumptive nominee. If you vote for another GOP no-longer-hopeful, you're sending another message: that you're rather displeased that John McCain is leading your party.
There's a long way to go in counting up the N.C. and Indiana ballots, but in both places, it's striking how many...
Hmmm....doesn't this:
Kinda make you think of this:
Alright, alright, don't be a hater. Gotta do something while I wait for them to call Indiana....but, you know, Kanye and Barack both came up in what is sort of the same world in Chicago. An interesting convergence of images.
You can always count on Fox News to call the vote before anyone else - it's only blown up once in their face so far this campaign.
North Carolina closes in 4 minutes, and they say, "Fox News to Make Projection in Minutes."
Still, it will be interesting to see how close it ends up being. Did the NC governor burn a bridge for good reason?
Update: And there it is - the clock strikes half past...
It looks to be an early evening in terms of declaring the winners and the euthanized horses in this race. And I haven't even opened a beer yet!
If you believe the leaked exit polls, it's a decent lead in Indiana for Hillary and a blow out for Obama in North Carolina. HuffPost says a 5% lead for Hillary in Indiana, a 12% lead for Obama in North Carolina. For Drudge, Hillary's "double dream" is...
Apparently it is! You know this protracted argument about whether Hillary's gas tax proposal constitutes pandering? While Hillary calls it short-term relief, Obama calls it old politics. Either way, it seems that Obama's campaign has misquoted New York Times columnist and economist, Paul Krugman, in their TV attack ad, implying that Clinton's plan would increase oil industry profits. Oh, the...
Something big could happen tonight to change the course of the Democratic nomination, but the feeling that's in the air is most likely just that--a feeling. After a long back-and-forth in the primary battle, I am more inclined to believe that many are feeling anxiety/anticipation rather than an actual game-changing moment. We all want to know when this thing is going to break. Is Hillary...
