Reply #18: She was way ahead in IN; it was hers to lose from what I read: [View All]

and I'm not rubbing it in, but I'm sick of people who claim she came close to beating the odds because she was the underdog in IN (not that you said that, but I've heard that a lot). She was the presumptive winner, did win, but not by margins she can be happy with.

Indiana is Hillary Clinton's to lose and here is why...
By HillaryClinton08 - April 25, 2008, 12:27PM

...Hillary Clinton won Ohio & Pennsylvania because of Race, according to exit polls.... lets compare those two states to Indiana.....

There are more Caucasians in Indiana then there were in Ohio & Pennsylvania which favor Clinton, also Indiana has more Hispanics too which favor Clinton, more asians which favor Clinton and there are less African-Americans in Indiana then in Ohio & Pennsylvania...about 8% to 9% are african-american which with that little number does not bold well for Obama.... Also....

Hillary Clinton has the backing of the following:

Evan Bayh, Current State Senator and former governor
Joe Andrew, Former DNC Chairman
Phoebe Crane, DNC member
Dan Parker, DNC Member
Bob Pastrick, DNC Member

She has more endorsements in that state in Obama... Also, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and Chlesea Clinton have visited that state over 50 times...way more than Obama.

Polls show a tight race before Clinton won Pennsylvania....what will they show leading up to May 6.

Anyways, Indiana is for Hillary Clinton to Lose.
