Photo Finish in Indiana

Obama has won the North Carolina primary (VERY) decisively—by 12%, exceeding expectations by 5%. 

 

Indiana remains too close to call: Clinton is ahead by 2%, but the votes haven’t been counted from Lake County, which is in western Indiana and the Chicago media market (meaning Obama is a hometown name).  Statewide projections had Clinton ahead in by 7%. 

 

Clinton has claimed the Indiana win, announcing tonight that her campaign has “broken the tie.”  Who knows what that means.  Presumably she is using alternative-universe math that includes verboten delegates from Michigan and Florida. 

 

Whatever the Indiana outcome, a disappointing night for Clinton.  

 

No big surprises for Republicans—McCain won Indiana handily.
