Clinton is cleaning up in Indiana.
As always we'll bring you the earliest, most accurate results possible of the two major primaries, but for now reports are that turnout will be very heavy in both states...
Indy StarIf you haven't voted yet, Marion County Clerk Beth White offered this advice just before noon: Go now.
"I'd recommend they get there right now, bring their ID and prepare to be patient," White said during a news conference in the clerk's office.
Polls close at 6 p.m., and White said turnout already is looking less like a primary than a general election. Based on reports from precincts, she said turnout may surpass the November 2006 election, when one-third of Marion County voters showed up, but might not be as large as the 2004 election, when nearly 54 percent of registered voters took part in the contest pitting President George W. Bush against John Kerry.
Clinton is cleaning up in Indiana.
NBC is calling NC for Obama.
Damn, if he only could have stopped her in IN.
I see that Fox News is using HRC and BHO for their reporting. They sure do like to stick it o Obama any chance they get.
Keep it going, I've got plenty of popcorn.
As was said weeks, months ago, Hill had to win all remaining primaries 65 - 35 to beat Obama.
Ain't happened,
ain't happening,
ain't gonna happen.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the next Democratic presidential candidate and the
Old McFlopPander killer:
BLACK BaracK HUSSAIN! Obama!
He could pull out Indiana.
NC goes overwhelmingly for Obama...Indiana tightening, 1 delegate difference...it's interesting, but by any measure this race is over.....Clinton has canceled all appearances scheduled for tomorrow - is her camp finally seeing the writing on the wall?
was over 2 months ago.
Yep, but more people are starting to see the big picture now - including the Clinton camp
"including the Clinton camp"
.... also saw the end was inevitable many, many weeks ago. Bill has been unhinged and wasting his good will and political capital.
Dragging it out and sliming HUSSEIN! has been vicious.
OBAMA FTW!!!
Indiana goes to Clinton - but it's all academic....

Barely.
No it wasn't but I get your point.
No it wasn't and no it is isn't yet. Hillary is vowing to
carry on and making a big push for the "supers".
Go Hillary. Go Barack.
Hey Yoni, pass the popcorn!
doea anyone actually think that Obama can win the general election based on the votes african americans and egg heads? Seriously? Without the blue collar vote? The guy is going to slaughtered in November and effectively ending any chance the guy ever had at becoming president..but hey according to likes of boutons he's black and he won the democrat nomination.. sort of like he is going to win 2nd place!!!! woohoo!!
You have a very valid point. The way they were giving
out the exit polls last night OHB was having a hard time
with everyone but the black vote and snob vote.
But it isn't over, yet! Hillary is not going to give up
until someone breaks both her legs or takes her captive.
If and when she does get SHOVED out of the race she
may end up in some mental home somewhere.
..if by "cleaning up", you mean "winning by two points".

If I were a McCain supporter I'd be concerned that 15% of the vote in Indiana went to people who dropped out. Or that 19% that didn't vote for him in North Carolina.When it comes time for delegates to vote at the convention, shouldn't they take into account that Clinton has performed better than Obama in the so-called battleground states? Doesn't she stand a better chance against John McCain in the national election?
In reality, the exact opposite is true. Everything about the results so far suggests that Obama is the more electable candidate according to the "battleground" voter the Clinton camp is claiming for their own.
The Clinton strategy for winning the presidency is so simple, even a chimpanzee could grasp it. You win the blue states, the Massachusettses and the New Jerseys, almost automatically, just by being pro-choice and saying nice things about trees and gay people. You concede the really red states, the places like Tennessee and Kentucky where you're ****ed anyway, places where huge pluralities believe the devil really exists and has thick red skin and a bull's horns. That leaves you free to compete hard in the mixed-bag states by drifting to the right as far as you can without losing your in-pocket blue territories, which is really hard to do unless you start wobbling on abortion or selling out the spotted owl. It is through the prism of this new Clintonian strategy that presidential politics has basically been reduced to winning Florida and Ohio.
But saying that Hillary is better qualified to take on John McCain because of her performance in those states only makes sense if (a) you believe that the people who voted for Clinton in the primaries will not vote for Obama in the general election, and (b) you believe that no Democrat can win the traditionally red states. In fact, Hillary has mostly been winning the traditionally blue states —places like New York, California, Massachusetts and New Jersey —that are going to go blue in November anyway, no matter who is running on the Republican ticket. And even in the states Hillary has won, it has been registered Democrats, not swing voters, who have carried her to victory, while Obama has dominated her in virtually every contest among registered independents. Even in her home state of New York, Obama whipped Hillary among independents by fifteen percent. In Missouri, that margin was twenty-eight percent. In California? Thirty percent.
Obama, meanwhile, has performed extraordinarily well in traditionally red states like Louisiana, Georgia and South Carolina. And sure, some of that is due to the black vote. But all of his victories have been marked by two things: larger-than-usual turnout and routs among independents, leading to the large number of blowout wins that are basically responsible for his delegate lead at the moment. On Super Tuesday, Hillary won sixty percent of the vote in only one contest, Bill's home state of Arkansas. Obama won seven states by that margin or more.
In other words, Hillary is winning the Democratic voters who are going to vote Democratic anyway. Obama is bringing in new voters, and he's winning large numbers of swing voters in red states.
PA, 11% went to a dropout, 13% to a dropped out guy in MS, and so on.
I've got the momentum and the exit polls prove that Barack cannot win over white boys like xyray...if by "cleaning up", you mean "winning by two points".
So according to you Obama will actually reverse this trend in November. The underwhelming support from blue collar white voters will magically go away because it isn't a primary election? These folks will now all of a sudden vote for the guy that they have in mass not supported throughout the country during the primaries? Good luck with that reasoning..
Sieg Heil! Der Fuhrer Presidente Obama!
Obama 4ever
