Obama stuck at 48%

[many a good man]

He may not win IN but I predict Hillary will "suspend" her campaign. She has no chance now unless some unexpected disaster befalls Barack between now and the convention.

[Boz]

1. Lake is still out, it represents 8% of the WHOLE state

[Guaranteed]

3. Which would be about 100,000 votes. nt

[TheFarseer]

17. they said turnout was ridiculous there

someone on TV said 300K votes although that's unbelievably high.

[RazBerryBeret]

2. I expect her to push MI & FL

in to the race any way she can.

[ShortnFiery]

6. Ya know? Now would be the time to "be gracious" but we know not to expect this from "a Clinton" eom

[Nitrogenica]

4. She won the big counties.

oh wait,.....um...so...hard....to....spin...

[book_worm]

5. Huge turnout in Gary, Indiana today and we're waiting for those numbers

It might, just might, be enough to propell Obama to a win.

[cui bono]

10. Which county is that? n/t

[futureliveshere]

12. Lake - Bordering Chicago.. Hugely BO supporters...

[TahitiNut]

19. I think Obama can get a margin of 40,000 votes in Lake County alone.

His margin is 60,000 in Marion County.

[cui bono]

20. TY. I love how that's the last reporting county. I hope it gives Obama IN.

Of course the news wouldn't report that.

[Muttocracy]

13. Lake (as in L. Michigan)

18. Wikipedia: Gary, Indiana - the second most liberal city in the country

Gary is the largest city in Lake County, Indiana, United States. The city is located in the southeastern portion of the Chicago metropolitan area and is approximately 25 miles from downtown Chicago. The population was 102,746 at the 2000 census, making it the largest city statewide that was not a county seat. It borders Lake Michigan and is known for its large steel mills, high crime rate, and liberal political leaning, with one study rating it the second-most liberal city in the United States.<3>

And from the Music Man:

Harold:
Gary, Indiana!
What a wonderful name,
Named for Elbert Gary of judiciary fame.
Gary, Indiana, as a Shakespeare would say,
Trips along softly on the tongue this way--
Gary, Indiana, Gary Indiana, Gary, Indiana,
Let me say it once again.
Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana,
That's the town that "knew me when."
If you'd like to have a logical explanation
How I happened on this elegant syncopation,
I will say without a moment of hesitation
There is just one place
That can light my face.
Gary, Indiana,
Gary Indiana,
Not Louisiana, Paris, France, New York, or Rome, but--
Gary, Indiana,
Gary, Indiana,
Gary Indiana,
My home sweet home.

7. Not for long - one hour or so util Lake County starts coming in

[cui bono]

8. Why can't he close the deal???

:sarcasm:

[featherman]

9. It's about votes now... trailing by 37000 He should pick up 7000

in what's left of Monroe, Tippecanoe and Hamilton

Win Lake by 30,000 or more to take the state or about 60% if the vote there is 150,000

[Contrary1]

11. Looks like a little over 11,000 vote difference:

Hillary Clinton 321097

Barack Obama 310092

14. I hope she suspends her campaign. But I doubt she will.

Give her a few days.

For now, it will be we will fight until the convention....yada...ya...da

I guess it is safe to say Evan Bahy will be off the short list for VP

[stevietheman]

[Mojambo]

21. 48% would be more than enough to make this night a smashing success for Obama. n/t
