If It's Tuesday, There's a Primary Somewhere...

This week Indiana and North Carolina are up. Come on Hoosiers and Tarheels...bring this thing home for Obama! I will post returns here as they come in. Feel free to follow along and post your predictions in the comments.

Update at 7:30pm: NBC and CNN call North Carolina for Obama - no numbers yet. Clinton is currently leading in Indiana 57% - 43% with 20% of precincts reporting. Stay tuned. PS MSNBC calling Obama's win in NC HUGE! WooHoo!

Update at 8:50pm: Indiana still too early to call. With 63% of the votes counted, Clinton is leading Obama 54% -46%. According to Chuck Todd, NBC numbers guru, the precincts still not reporting are strong Obama areas. Here's hoping for a very tight race or an outright win. At this point it's possible...either way, a great night for Barack!

Update at 10:00pm: Word is that the Indiana numbers won't be in til 11:00pm (maybe midnight) - I really think Obama's going to pull this off. If he does it's over.

Update at 11:45pm: Wow. Looks like Lake County is breaking 75/25 for Obama, with votes still not reported. If that trend continues, Obama wins. Just 9% left to come in, but that 9% could decide the nominee. This is great stuff!

Update at 1:00am: Hillary declared the winner in Indiana by a small margin, 51% - 49%. Whatever. Doesn't matter.
