And Obama got nearly 50% of the vote against the most recognized and popular last name in Democratic politics. It couldn't be any more clear that this is the candidate to unite America.

1. I was really surprised that he did so well there. I thought Hillary was going to get a blow out.

2. Obama got 49% in Evansville, the most conservative major city in the state.
Unbelievable. He never should have done so well there. If he can get 49% there then he can do the same thing in Kentucky.

10. Even many of the so-called hicks are good people.
I met a couple self-described hill-folk from IN and AR while doing volunteer work.

One of them knew Bill Clinton's family. She loves Bill... but she said she knew better than
to vote him into the East wing in the primary.

8. This Hoosier was pleasantly surprised.
I expected Hillary to win, but Obama came so close we could almost taste it. Congratulations to both candidates on a close and exciting race.
