2008 Clinton’s Lead in Indiana…

…seems to be shrinking fast. It’s fallen to less than 6 points. And right now no results are in from Gary, Indiana, which everyone expects to come in strong for Obama.
And Annie Wagner was just telling me that Obama could wind up taking more delegates in Indiana even if he loses the popular vote.
Also, thanks to this Frank Rich column, it occurred to me to check out how people are voting in tonight’s two GOP primaries. And, once again, a lot of Republicans headed out to the polls to express their unhappiness with their presumptive nominee. In Indiana and North Carolina upwards of 20% of Republicans that turned out to vote—tens of thousands of voters in both states—went to the polls to vote against John McCain. Even though he’s already the nominee. That can’t be good.
I'm gleefully awaiting the pathetic spin from the Clinton camp. How will she be able to explain this one?
And Bloomington (U of Indiana) is only 20% in - and he's winning 65-35 there. There are a ton of Obama votes still out there. He'll have to run it up big in those places, and may not get there completely, but it's going to be awfully close - much, much closer than the 15 points it appears to be in North Carolina.
Come on home state, come ON! I hope my fellow Hoosier's help Barack silence Mrs. Clinton once and for all!
Hoosiers. Crap.
No, no, I was saying the low-hanging fruit was in Muncie, which he's losing (that's Delaware county). He'll come out with fewer delegates in Indiana, I'm pretty sure, now that I look at the way the northern Congressional districts are long and skinny north-to-south rather than horizontal to concentrate the Chicago influence.
Are we sure the repugs ar voting against JM - or hoping to upset Obama by voting for HC???
