Obama steadily gaining in IN

[Dbdmjs1022]

To be fair, she's probably going to win IN. But in the pat half an hour the point-differential has dropped from 14% to 8%. It certainly looks like she won't get the big win she needed. And anything she gains in delegates or the popular vote will be MORE than offset by his wiping the floor with her in NC.

[npincus]

1. can he win?

please? :)

[LSparkle]

2. My thoughts exactly ... I want this over NOW!

[Quixote1818]

27. He will probably gain 20 to 30 thousand more votes just in Indianapolis

With only about 50% in there he is beating her by over 20,000 votes. If he can gain by 20 or 30,000 near Chicago this thing will be razer thin.

[RL3AO]

7. I doubt it.

But a 15 point win in NC and a 5 point loss in IN is about as close to a win as BO could have asked for.

[Guaranteed]

14. Seriously. If he can bring IND below 5, the race is over.

Especially winning by almost 30% ATM in NC.


If he can win IND, Clinton can call it herself.

[Quixote1818]

3. Yep, it's getting closer and closer. She may only win by 2 or 3% nt

[LSparkle]

6. HA! That was my prediction yesterday ... (2-3)

[Eurobabe]

22. Mine too, I think.

:D

[goclark]

35. Didn't Randi R. say H by 5

in Indiana.

[Alexander]

4. Yep, it's now 54-46 with 50% in.

[hogwyld]

10. In "Clinton" math, that's a triple digit win! n/t

[bleuvixen]

5. I hope he wins and puts this to rest...

[Guaranteed]

8. Yup, watch that HARD.

Part of me is actually still wondering if he JUST MIGHT pull it out there.


Not likely- but with every 10% in, the gap is closing 2%....

[The_Casual_Observer]

9. Does this give obama enough delegate counts to win the nomination?

[Guaranteed]

15. Yes. nt

[The_Casual_Observer]

24. I guess they'll be giving him the nomination any minute now.

[Guaranteed]

26. Yes. nt

[featherman]

11. And three of the biggest counties aren't it: Lake, St Joseph, most of Hamilton

and more than half of Marion

[gmudem]

12. Her best hope is a 2-4 point victory

That will be mathematically meaningless especially if Obama's gigantic leads holds in NC. This night is a definitive victory for Obama.

[WA98296]

13. MSNBC still saying TOO close to call yet. Those numbers are changing!

[RL3AO]

17. Too close or too early?

There is a difference.

[bunnies]

23. Too early. Last I heard on msnbc. nt

[RL3AO]

16. Marion County (Indianapolis)

He is +23000 votes with only 54% in.

[Guaranteed]

18. Ohhh....and it's comparatively huge.

This is gonna keep coming down.


Thanks for that info.

[RainDog]

19. and most of her counties have come in

ah well, I wish Obama had carried IN. Even so, North Carolina was sweet. And important. It would be great if N.C. could go blue.

[cooolandrew]

20. Seems a big night for Obama. =) Fingers crossed.

[WillyT]

21. And The Counties Nearest Chicago Have Not Reported Yet

For whatever that is worth.

:shrug:

[Eurobabe]

25. It's worth ALOT. Why they won't call it yet.

[RainDog]

28. oh that would be sweet if cbs called it incorrectly.

not b/c of them, but just because of a win. come on chicagoland Indiana!

-if nothing else, the numbers will be closer than 8%, wouldn't it seem?

[Eurobabe]

32. egg meet face

I think IF she wins, it will be by a very small margin. Let's wait for final tallies. :)

[TahitiNut]

29. Northwest Indiana is Obamaland

It'll be tight.

[liberaldem4ever]

30. With all the dirt that has been thrown at him this last few weeks

If he can keep it under double digits in IN, it will be very sweet. GOBAMA!!!!! :bounce: :kick:

[npincus]

31. You've got THAT right!

I would love to see CBS with egg on their face, for calling IN so quickly.

[NightWatcher]

33. down to 6 with 35% remaining to report (all Obama counties)

[lyonn]

34. Never though Indiana would be a nail biter, but

this is looking better all the time....

[goclark]

36. Did Gary report yet?

[uponit7771]

45. No, 0% 30 minutes ago

[DS1]

37. Yep. Slow creep, lots of big counties not fully reported

[calimary]

38. If he tightens it more, it takes more luster off her victory.

So far, 53 - 47, with 68 percent of the vote in - 6:14pm pacific time. That's the tightest yet.

Holy Crap - 59 - 39 in NC, 32 percent in. OUCH.

[lancer78]

39. 4% in Indiana

NT

[dave29]

40. yep 52/48

...

[calimary]

43. YAH! Welcome to DU, btw! That evolved in fifteen minutes or so.

His lead has shrunk a little in NC, but not by too much. Still resounding double digits.

[Tatiana]

41. Now C 52%, O 48% with 71% reporting (still no Lake Co.) n/t

[goclark]

47. Is Lake Co. Gary?

[davidpdx]

42. Oh geez..this is a nail biter

I've got about 15 more minutes before I go back to work. It may not be decided for a couple more hours.

[uponit7771]

44. Right, because Gary, ChiTown Burbs and Indi Burbs are slow counters but I don't see them going

...to HRC

[goclark]

46. Come on Obama! A CHANGE is gonna come tonight!

Make it happen :bounce:
