11. He's already spinning his "whoever wins NC will be the nominee" statement.
That tells me he actually thought Hillary had a chance. DLC idiot.

Fuck the DLC. GOBAMA! :bounce:

6. CBS ... Walter Cronkite is probably throwing stuff at his TV
They may have to do an about-face on this by the end of the
night.

18. A win WOULD be nice of course,
but if he can hit his "magic number" of at least 40% of the vote, then Hillary will have to win all six of the remaining contests with at least 86% of the vote to surpass him.

19. He won't lose by 8

1/2 of Indianapolis has yet to report. He will make up 20,000 votes there and perhaps 20,000 or more in the Chicago suburbs. He will probably only lose by 10,000 votes with a razer thin win for Hillary.

9. Either way, Clinton has lost the night.
Edited on Tue May-06-08 08:04 PM by New Dawn
She is only leading by 8 points now in Indiana (mostly from McCain supporters), but losing by 26 points in NC (which has more delegates).

14. Chuck is the most honest man on TV today!
I love him, I like his looks, I love his honesty, almost as much as I love honesty in Obama's campaign.

Wouldn't it be GREAT if Chuck held off and Obama won in IN, when so many OTHER networks went for Clinton already in the 24/7 all news "declaration"?....

Gee, what a new concept for the other networks!! Wait and decide based upon actual votes!!!!

HOWEVER, how many people showed up? That is the issue.

36. Hillary will probably win it. BUT this shows it will be a close victory.
I think the odds are Hillary will win, but I also think CBS called it too early. They may turn out right, but only by sheer luck.

53. He still has a chance
there's not much rural vote left. There is all of Tippecanoe(where Purdue Univ is), 30% of Marion(Indy), 100% of Lake(Gary) and 91% of Monroe(Bloomington). He has 50K votes to make up, but it is still do-able.

67. yeah, he said that but
there's still half of Tippecaone, 100% of Lake, maybe 15K votes from Indy and most of Monroe left. Clinton is almost completely out of rural vote and with only a 40K lead. This will be extremely close.

54. Todd said there is a "Mason-Dixon Line" across Indiana
Also Indiana moves from "Too Early to Call" to "Too Close to Call"

I think CBS may have screwed themselves by calling it early.

He's speaking now in NC (MSNBC live). It is still too early to call according to MSNBC, but this shows you what a gracious man of integrity he is.

65. This could mean that we get a tie in delegates in Indiana
And I have NC at a minimum of 11 delegates for Obama. Far outside chance of 9 if he doesn't keep it above 11 points.
