[newmajority]

9. That was Chuck Todd's guess.

Actually, he said 5,000 one way or the other.

[PM7nj]

8. I'm not sure if he will overtake her, but this is still amzaing.

I did not expect this at all. My prediction from yesterday was Clinton by 3 in IN and Obama by 7 in NC. Obama has over preformed my own expectations, the pundits, the distractions, and the polls. I am very happy tonight... or this morning!

10. 65-35 that is the break down

it is a nail biter folks

[gauguin57]

12. It's Guam all over again people!

Aieeeee!

[TheDoorbellRang]

15. Maybe he'll win by 7 votes!

[Truth2Tell]

13. on edit: nix that. still up in the air.

If the remaining 44% of Lake County falls 65/35, like the first 56%, Obama wins this thing.

[onenote]

14. My guess is that she narrowly hangs on.

Lake County is partially urban/partially rural. The numbers will begin to shift a bit more in her favor as the rest of the county comes in.

But her campaign has been fatally wounded by the fact that she barely held on even after Obama had a very rough stretch.
