The 08 Race

The final result was as following:

Indiana

Clinton 51%

Obama 49%

This was a good result for Obama, close race, didn't allow Clinton to build up her vote total. Thus Obama has a healthy lead. Obama has to keep the popular vote lead up to June 3rd. If Obama can keep the popular vote and Delegate lead then he has the nomination.

North Carolina


Obama 56 %

Clinton 42%

A healthy victory over Clinton, North Carolina could be the state that hands the nomination to Obama in the long term.

37% of the vote in Indiana. Clinton 56%, Obama 44%. Very close to that Survey USA Poll. See past post.

12.55am

33% of the vote in Indiana. Clinton 57%, Obama 43%. I am taking a punt, Clinton margin of victory of about 10%. Clinton seems to be keeping a forty thousand margin between herself and Obama. Depends on urban votes. So Clinton by 10%. NC no idea as yet.

I think Clinton will win Indiana but its the margin. So I am calling Indiana for Clinton. NOT THE MARGIN.

12.43am
Fox has called North Carolina for Obama, Indiana still not called. Also the NC margin is very important, if Obama can win big, lot harder for Clinton to fight on. NOT CALLING THE MARGIN.
