Obama wins in North Carolina, but trails Clinton in Indiana

[FourScore]

Barack Obama swept to victory in the North Carolina primary on Tuesday but fell behind Hillary Rodham Clinton in Indiana, the last big-delegate prizes left in their long race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Obama's win mirrored earlier triumphs in Southern states with large black populations, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and South Carolina among them.

The Associated Press made its North Carolina call based on surveys of voters as they left the polls.

That made Indiana a virtual must-win Midwestern state for the former first lady, who was hoping to counter Obama's persistent delegate advantage with a strong run through the late primaries.

Returns from 21 percent of the Indiana precincts showed Clinton with 57 percent of the vote to 43 percent for Obama...

1. If Obama can get 40% of IN he owns the night

Because Hillary would have to win ALL SIX of the remaining contests with 86% of the vote to overtake him:

43-point or more margin of victory = blowout

38 - 42 points = a "real" win

30 - 37 points = good, but not good enough

11 – 29 points = a wash

5 - 10 points = useless

1 - 4 points = concession speech

2. So far none of the Chicago burbs are reporting.

All those counties in NW IN are still unreported. Should break heavily for Obama.

Will it be enough?

Who knows.

But this one will tighten up considerably.

Just watch.

3. Has Bloomington reported yet?
