Can obama still win indiana tonight?

[george_maniakes]

does he have that much support in the gary area to make up that much ground?

[Rick Myers]

1. The northwestern section of Indiana has not reported

[Zynx]

3. It would have to come in about 75-25 or so. He'll be lucky to get 55-45.

[LakeSamish706]

2. According to CNN yes he still can win IN... There are a bunch of important..

counties still not reporting.

[TBF]

7. But I wouldn't count on it because if it's true that they are giving people a tough

time about voting - you know which neighborhoods they're gunning for. I still hope he wins, or comes close though. The NC victory is tremendous!!

[LakeSamish706]

I agree, it would be a miracle but a possibility still. n/t

[babylonsister]

4. I don't have a clue, but they haven't called the state yet. nt

[livingmadness]

5. I believe its possible

Not probably, but definitely possible ... Clinton's counties are not coming in as big for her as they should be ... it'll be nail-bitingly close ...

[Tatiana]

6. Dunno. They want to call it for Clinton. That is obvious.

But with Lake Co. out and Marion Co. slow to report, they can't.

[tridim]

8. Sure, why not.

:)

[LSparkle]

9. I'm not giving up that hope ... which would mean GAME OVER

[hillsidestrangler]

10. A better question is...

Does it matter? But to not be a jerk and answer your question...I think with early votes yet to be counted and Lake county precincts yet to report, he can close the margin to within 7. Perhaps it may be 46.5 to 53.5 or better for him.

[TheDonkey]

11. hillary will probably win by 5 or so.

doesn't matter one bit.

[RainDog]

12. I'm not a reg. poll watcher

but he started in the high 30s and is now in at mid 40s. Marion Co. (Indy) has not reported votes.

I don't know if he will win, but I certainly wish he would!

[Jack Bone]

13. This Hoosier says....YES WE CAN!!

watch Howard county in IN..it's been considered a bellweather for the state in the past.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

14. Very unlikely.

But it's going to be a hell of a lot closer than what it is right now.

[bleuvixen]

15. He can get much closer...

if he wins tho I will be surprised!

[Connie_Corleone]

16. I doubt it. I'm just hoping for a close margin.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

17. If they haven't called it, he can win.

If he can't, they'll call it.

That's why they call it.

[DerekJ]

18. No, he'll lose by 6-8 points but no matter.

[Orangepeel]

19. still? He wasn't EVER going to win Indiana

Way back in February, the campaign predicted a win and Zogby had him winning. There was no other indication that he was ever going to win (no matter how much Clinton supporters want to claim he was supposed to).

[featherman]

20. Looks like he'll take Marion by 20,000 votes. He's actually picking up

more support than expected in other counties. But the giveaway is "too early to call" which means Clinton. If it was too close to call there would be a chance.
Bottom line is Clinton wins.

CNN Indian county map here... watch the returns as counties report... pretty fun

[Patsy Stone]

21. The more heavily populated areas haven't fully reported yet

But I don't think he'll win. I'm thinking 5% margin for Hillary.

[Gore1FL]

22. If it wasn't possible they would have called it

It isn't likely though.

[livingmadness]

23. They've called it before and been wrong ...

So even if they do, I wouldn't count on it!! But as you say, not likely.

[RainDog]

25. Clinton's In. Camp. guy still downplaying expectations

still calling it Obama's b/c it's "Chicago's Backyard."

too early - that's good, right? close still.

[Kittycat]

24. I don't think so, but I do think it's going to be very close.

I'm watching for the Rush Chaos number on the exits.

[Eurobabe]

26. don't know, counties near Chi-town not reporting yet.

Look for the spread to narrow, alot. I say Hillary pulls off no more than 4%.

[lonestarnot]

27. YES!

[RainDog]

28. current numbers from IN's election site

Hillary Clinton 44052
Barack Obama 34969

[RainDog]

29. Katie Couric just called it for Hillary

[beachmom]

30. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, but go to the front page of dkos

There is a daylight of hope: Clinton is not winning counties as big as expected. However, some of those counties are not in 100%, so maybe she will get the expected percentage by the end.
