Obama Wins North Carolina Primary, Clinton Leads in Indiana
FOXNews.com ^ | May 6, 2008 | FOXNews staff

Barack Obama won the North Carolina Democratic primary Tuesday, FOX News projects, preventing Hillary Clinton from staging an election-day upset in the Tar Heel State.

Clinton took the lead in Indiana, but it was still too early to call the race.

The two states are the last big contests on the primary calendar and together offer the final chance for the candidates to make a serious dent in the delegate counts.

Both candidates were faring well among bases usually loyal to their campaigns Tuesday.

In Indiana, Clinton’s advantage is based on groups that have supported her in earlier primaries — white women, white working-class voters and rural voters.

With 63 percent of precincts reporting, Clinton led 54-to-46 percent.

Lake County, Indiana will not release any numbers until all 11,300 some odd absentee ballots counted...This county borders Illinois, could be after midnight, Hillary waiting for those results before her speech.

Chris Mathews raised a good point - Is Gary, Indiana holding up votes for some dramatic results?

Gary is where Obama is supposed to run the STRONGEST. Gary also reportedly had a strong turnout.

Could he make up 40K?

Will Hildabeast be laid to rest tonight?

Gary - Indiana - has it its hand whether John McCain would be next President!

ROTFLMAO!

Go Bama! Slay the witch!

I think he was hoping to be on stage and win INDIANA too
but they could not deliver it to him. He kept going on and on and on and finally it looked like he gave up and had to end it.

SOMETHING WAS VERY WRONG... DIDNT GO AS PLANNED?
I THINK IT WILL BE REVEALED IN A COUPLE OF DAYS/

They can manufacture votes in Gary like they do Chicago.
Hillery is done and we get to watch the pretty boy genius.

Honestly, I’ve had this fear since they both announced. Hill/Bill would stop at NOTHING to get back to Pennsylvania Avenue. Even take the #2 spot. Like a death wish for Obama? Absolutely, but I think the risk is worth it to him. He may not have a choice regardless.

She’s up by 40,000 but I think they are vetting those absentees because Gary will be 80% Obama.

Thanks TA3

Populist garbage peppered with outright Marxist statements. Staggers me to think a full third of the nation believes in this crap.

She was forcing it...there was something not right about the look on his face at the end of the speech.

Watch how he looked after Michelle approached him...SHE IS RUNNING HIS LIFE...SHE WEARS THE PANTS AND I THINK HE IS GETTING A LITTLE TIRED OF MISSY MICHELLE.

Clinton is just making her premature victory speech. I can’t believe the vast majority of males in the audience have some form of facial hair!!!! Mustaches or beards. Such vanity!!!

"I wish that I was kidding. He essentially said that the rich can afford to give-up a slice of their pie to those who have none and that it was something that they will have to do. Remember folks, every Marxist dictator on the planet promised "change" before coming to power."

Yep, that's Marxist talk from Obama. If I have a pie, I guarantee you that I didn't steal it. I'm not a lying stealing liberal. I had to work for that pie and I'm sure the heck not going to give it to lazy losers to squander. It reminds me of "The Little Red Hen" childrens story. She asks for help in growing the wheat, preparing it to make flour and then in making it into bread, but her lazy neighbors don't want to help with the labor. Only when she asks "Who will eat this bread?" do these others pipe in "We will! We will!" But she says "No, No. I will."

May the Little Red Hen's attitude live in us all!

Yep.... she’s toast. I thought for a while there that Obama might slide. But this is the OJ syndrome. It doesn’t matter what happens, what he’s guilty of, what he does.... he’ll get 90 + percent of the black vote.

My observation is OBAMA was trying to stretch the speech and he was told they would give him INDIANA during the speech, he couldnt drag it out any longer so he stopped.

Michelle ran out and said what are you doing, they are going to put up number, he shrugged his shoulders and said OH WELL, she turned and said well at least act like a winner.......

WATCH THE END FOR YOURSELF!!!!!

Hmmm...I guess I missed the “not right” part of it. I just glanced back and saw her cheering. Grr.
