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.

You are correct. Obama and his vile wife will destroy this nation. It scares me that people of this nation are so damn stupid.
Hillary’s less than two percentage points ahead in the Indiana vote now (72 total delegates there). Obama’s more than 14% ahead in North Carolina (115 total delegates). The delegates will be apportioned from each voting area (each precinct, district,...?) in each state, if I remember correctly—not winner-take-all in those states.
Just saw on Fox, her lead is now reduced to 20,000 votes. She very well could lose Indiana, or finish with a lead so insignificant she might as well have lost it.
No Dem primary is winner take all.
Hmmm. Delegates might be apportioned in some states by way of vote totals for those states, come to think of it. Either way, neither of them will take all of the votes in Indiana or North Carolina. Look for the Democrat pressure for Hillary to drop out to be enormous.
Heck, even McCain will probably get us all killed. We’re done for at least four more years.
vile is the perfect word for that witch of a wife of his. I never thought I’d see a woman I detested more than the ‘beast but that POS mess is right there.
I don’t think it is so much as being stupid as it is the manaical thirst for power at any cost.
It don’t freaking matter if she “wins” either Indiana or NC. As long as she’s close.
Everybody keeps forgetting about FL and MI. The hole cards in Hillary’s poker hand. She will shame the Democrat Party into seating those delegates and the delegates won’t be split down the middle.
“Count every vote, let every vote count”. The mantra is just beginning.
Denver will be a blast.
McCain is going to win if we faces Barry......Hitlery is another story.....Hitlery could win....would probably win...
why are conservatives hoping that a raving leftist like Hitlery gets the Presidency?
I don’t want the bloody cow - but I do want to see blood on the floor in Denver!!!:-)
You and all your conservative Aussie friends should fly over an participate, as the Dims have all but ensured that anybody, even foreigners, can vote in our elections. I’m sure we can find FReepers to house you and provide beer and food.
You can provide BEER???? I’m there!
LOL!
lesser_satan, you’re going to provide alcoholic beverages to Australians and invite them to a possible riot at a political convention? Maybe I should move even further from Denver. ;-)
Yes, but I live in a 1-bedroom apartment, so you'll have to sleep in the living room.
Gimme enough beer and I’ll sleep ANYWHERE!!!
I imagine it would be American beer so keep that in mind. :)
Obama will have a tough time with the electoral map....blue collar dems in Ohio, PA, New Hampshire, and Michigan will not vote for him. Latinos are wary of him too. The only swing state he may take is Colorado.
The Indys that would have voted for him will no longer do so thanks to Rush and the reverend wright.
I would rather see Obama and a possible win than the witch and a sure loss.
