    OT: I was surveyed by Zogby in a Presidential approval survey the other day. Contrary to popular opinion, they do survey real people.

    wow, I think that NC number is waaay off. If Obama doesn't win by more than 12 in NC I will be shocked.

    Well, my mom says she had to abandon her usual polling station because the line was too long, and go to a different station (we can vote in any polling station where I live). She says she have never seen so many people at that station before, including general elections.

    The turn out is expected to be more than the general election last time in my county.

    According to questionable exit polls...

    Obama +12 in NC
    Obama -7 in IN

    Assuming it goes more to Hillary as is usually the case with exit polls and ends up with each getting maybe a 10pt win, that's a pretty good showing for Hillary - about as good as could reasonably be expected.

    Keep in mind the northeast Indiana counties are one hour later than the rest of the state. Their votes will be counted last and the region will go heavily to Obama.

    Obama wins NC

    MSNBC and CNN both say IN is too close to call.

    I thought it was the consensus that Clinton would win Indiana easily? :confused:

    Seems a little early given that Gary hasn't reported anything yet. She probably has won, but it seems like the gap will narrow still further as the rest of the results come in.

    lol.

    Obama's scoring a much bigger win in NC (the considerably larger state, with more delegates and more popular votes). About an hour after CBS called IN for Hillary, not one other network has been willing to do the same. Obviously she'll probably win it, but by a way smaller margin than Obama will win NC.

    He will add to his increasingly insurmountable lead in delegates and popular votes.

    Obama has clearly won the night and is that much closer to the nomination.

    Looks like Obama is going to win NC by 20. That's huge.

    Only 30% reporting. There's a lot of votes to count. But, yes, it's a huge win!

    Looks like both states are narrowing. NC will probably end up around 14-16. IN probably 4-6. If so, good day for Obama.

    Well, this is interesting. Lead is down to 43,000, with Lake County not reporting at all. If it's strongly Obama (Chicago suburbs - but I don't know anything about the demographics), he could pick up 30,000 votes there. I don't think he can win, but this could end up closer than 51-49 if all breaks well for him.
