7:00PM - FOX, CNN, and MSNBC say Indiana too close to call. - TOM BEVAN

6:52PM - Will Clinton get her breakthrough tonight? Initial numbers don't look promising but, again, the final vote could be different than the exits we're seeing now. A split decision looks like the most likely outcome, and if that's the case then the margins will matter. A 10-point Clinton win in Indiana coupled with a 5-point loss in North Carolina can obviously be spun much differently than the opposite: a 5-point win in Indiana and a 10-point loss in North Carolina.

To the extent Clinton can survive tonight, she can extend the contest and keep alive questions about Obama's ability to appeal to working class white voters in the general election with what looks like a huge victory in waiting next Tuesday in West Virginia. As Jay wrote this morning, the sheer size of her victory there could be the surprise story, and with no other primaries and nothing else to talk about, the media will again recycle the storyline about Obama's inability to connect with culturally conservative downscale Democrats. - TOM BEVAN

I’m sure they’ll do a civilized recount.

And another

And another

And another until Hillary wins.

Actually they have, for the second time this primary season, trotted out their new viewer-saver-”too EARLY too call”. Its hard to start out too close to call and then call something by double digits an hour later.

Come to think, I’m sure they’ll find a few boxes of Florida
‘00 ballots in Hillary’s trunk.

Of course the MSM knows Hillary is kept afloat only by Republican votes. She wouldn't have a prayer without Operation Chaos to keep her in the running!

I’ve been thinking and saying that we have to stop Barak Hussein, the America hating muslim, or it will be too late.

I have that sinking feeling that it’s already too late. I’ve become the hated minority in my own country, which my ancestors began settling in 1620, before slaves were brought in. My country, where my great grandfather fought against slavery, caught TB in a southern prison camp and spread it to two generations, wreaking havoc in my family. But that won’t count. I’ll get the bill for reparations anyway.

1) It would have been great if Obama still had the ability to get the nomination because he would have given us a blowout victory up and down the ticket.

2) Obama will definitely not get the nomination. The superdelegates are not that stupid.

I’ll be shocked if Hillary does not win Indiana by 5 points.

After Texas she didn't need Operation Chaos.

She's not only alive, she will be the nominee.

Did NC have a hot GOP governor election? Did that keep the Obama numbers up because the GOP had something to vote for in the Republican line?
