In this case, a split was not a draw.

Despite narrowly winning Indiana, while losing North Carolina, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton did not fundamentally improve her chances of securing the Democratic presidential nomination. If anything, Mrs. Clinton’s hopes for overtaking Senator Barack Obama dwindled further on Tuesday night.

For Mr. Obama, the outcome came after a brutal period in which he was on the defensive over the inflammatory comments of his former pastor. That he was able to hold his own under those circumstances should allow him to make a case that he has proved his resilience in the face of questions about race, patriotism and political mettle — the very kinds of issues that the Clinton campaign has suggested would leave him vulnerable in the general election.

1. Yep

She'd have to practically win all the remaining pledged delegates to lead in the pledged delegates. The only thing that leaves is the super delegates. Given the fact that they have been breaking more for Obama lately doesn't sit well for her campaign.

2. It's good to see the media finally reporting the real status of her campaign. n/t

3. Well her campaign has pretty much been DOA since Feb 5th

with the exception of wins in PA, OH, RI and her narrow win in IN. The media never really even bothered to go back and report on the fact Obama won the most delegates in the Texas Primacaucus. She's essentially only won 4 states in 3 months.

4. Exactly! At least it's being reported now. n/t
