WHITE House hopeful Hillary Clinton has claimed victory in the Democratic presidential primary in Indiana, saying it is "full speed on to the White House".
With 85 per cent of the precincts reporting, US networks said Senator Clinton was leading rival Barack Obama by 52 per cent to 48 per cent, but had not yet called the race in the midwestern state.
Senator Clinton said Senator Obama had recently predicted that Indiana would be the tiebreaker in their battle for the Democratic Party's nomination.
"Well, tonight we've come from behind. We've broken the tie, and thanks to you, it's full speed on to the White House,'' she told cheering supporters.

THE CHAOS CONTINUES!
We’ll be wishing we had her if Obama gets in.
Even 6 months ago, I never dreamt I would be cheering on results showing Hitlery ahead in an election.
You and me, both!!!
I thought the Lake County votes had not yet been tallied and could cause a Hillary loss? If true, and given that Hill already thinks she has won......lots of fireworks tomorrow.
Someone said Bill was crying. Is that true?
Not quite, Hills. It's full speed on to the Donnybrook in Denver!
Hillary has decided to “declare victory” even though Obama has the lead in delegate count.
As of 20 minutes ago with 88% counted Fox News still had not called it. The decision desk thinks that it may come to one or two points and there is a remote possibility of it going to a fraction of a point.
Copying her idol, Robert Mugabe.
Yikes. Did she yell Allahu Akhbar, too?
Hillery had also declared victory in Texas and New Hampshire.
Obama and his vile wife would utterly destroy this nation. Most Americans simply don't understand the mortal threat he represents.
Obama will likely be even more delegates ahead of Hillary after the counting from the Indiana and North Carolina primaries.
“Live Results” (the two primaries)

Indiana has 72 total Democrat delegates, and North Carolina has 115. Obama will probably be very far ahead of Hillary in North Carolina (more than 14% ahead with the general vote numbers as it stands now), and Hillary is barely ahead in Indiana. When those are done, the Democrat leaders will put much more pressure than before on Hillary to drop out. And IMO, she may as well do so.
“fraction of a point.”
Full speed to the White House!
Ultimate spin by the ultimate politician.
Rumors are that Obama has won in Gary, Indiana. Gary is heavily black. Also the results from Gary have not come in yet. Clinton may already be toast. She just doesn’t know it.
We should ALL rally behind Hildebeaste. She must go all the way to the convention. In the interests of democracy...:-)
As much as I want Operation Chaos to continue I would love to see this happen.
Clinton on full speed to DOG House
