Clinton now with 10 pt lead in IN, with most Clinton counties in
Edited on Tue May-06-08 07:27 PM by The Ghost
and Obamas are still pending, just starting to come in. I think it will be close, with HRC winning by 5

1. If Clinton wins by 5 percent or less..
.. that's a very good result for Obama.

3. I'd be shocked if he lost by 5 or less.
Really really shocked.

5. Hillary by 5 or less will not be positioned for good spin.
Obama will have a 10-20 point win in the bigger state of tonight's contests. he'll take more delegates, and move farther ahead of Hillary.

The March of the Superdelegates will commence.

6. Earlier this week I predicted he'd only lose by 2-3%
I may end up being right after all!

8. Well, it looks like this thing is wrapping up.
I'm sure "the contest" will continue, but at some point, Clinton and her supporters will be faced with the choice between Obama and McCain. I hope and am confident that they will choose Obama, just as I hope Obama supporters would choose Clinton were their roles reversed.

9. 4% margin of victory for Clinton is a loss. After all this anti-Obama ferver she needed more
and getting blownout in NC HURTS.

12. HRC had to win ALL primaries by 70/30 to TIE. Anything less is a loss
She continues to fall further behind with less delegates in play.

Same thing with Penn.... she won, but not by enough, so she lost.

17. Hillary needed win by 38 points (69% of the vote) to make tonight really count
Edited on Tue May-06-08 07:38 PM by rocknation
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


If the current numbers hold, she'll have to get 86% of the vote in ALL SIX of the remaining contests to surpass Obama.

11. I hope he can keep it in single digits in IN, and win fairly big in NC.

13. If he brings it down to 5 Indiana might possibly be a zero delegate gain for Hillary
All depending on how it breaks in the districts.

16. As my Republican husband said,
the fix is in when Republicans vote for Hillary Clinton.

19. No
Edited on Tue May-06-08 07:40 PM by dbmk
Its 11% of the total voters. Which seemingly has been split between them like the popular vote in general.

What is debateable is if the motives are the same.

18. MSNBC is still calling it too close to call, I think those numbers will come closer together.
