They'll call Indiana for Clinton once Lake County reports to 15%

[alcibiades_mystery]

Obama didn't gain a big enough spread in Fort Wayne County to win the state.

[AllentownJake]

1. He won Allen?

Wow I lived there 3 years...didn't see that coming.

[elocs]

2. In reality, was it ever expected that Obama would win the state? n/t

[joeybee12]

5. Yeah, a few months back it was assumed to be a given for Obama

since it is so close to Illinois.

[CreekDog]

like Connecticut and Vermont?

:shrug:

[alcibiades_mystery]

8. No, that's Clintonite spin

Obama had a chance to make it close if he got big numbers out of Lake, Allen, and, of course, Marion. He didn't get enough in Allen (up 10% with 88% reporting, so the result is a virtual certainty at this point.

Clinton by 7%, as I see it.

[joeybee12]

17. He was up by five as recently as a month ago..

...spin that.

[joeybee12]

3. I just clicked on the map, and I think you're right...his margin in areas

he was predicted to win won't be big enough to overcome her lead in the other areas.

10. these demographic blocks are not shifting either way to any candidate

this election has drawn out long enough. People KNOW who they are going to vote for and now it is just a demographics game.

[featherman]

4. Probably right... they are holding off til then. Marion County is coming in

stronger than I thought thought... maybe plus 30,000-35,000 in the final margin

[LSparkle]

6. Has Marion County come in? Chuck Todd was just saying it hasn't

Cities of Gary, Bloomington and Indianapolis haven't reported yet,
so how can they call it for her?

[goclark]

7. Come on Gary ~

I talked to a Obama Supporter there today.

[alcibiades_mystery]

9. Marion's in at 24%

[SemiCharmedQuark]

11. Where are you getting your numbers? CNN has it 37% reporting

With Obama up 62 and 38

[LSparkle]

12. Are you confusing NC with Indiana?

We're talking about Indiana ...

[SemiCharmedQuark]

14. Yeah, Marion county in Indiana.

[LSparkle]

13. Meaning 24% has reported? Or that he won only 24%?

I can't believe the latter is true ... ?

[SemiCharmedQuark]

15. 37 % of the vote is in

[stillcool]

16. What is up with Indiana?

[featherman]

18. Here's a list of the largest Indiana counties

http://www.assmotax.org/Data/indcounty.php

Marion, Lake, Allen, St Joseph are the four largest and should favor Obama (not sure about St Joseph/South Bend)

Next largest: Elkhart and Hamilton. Hamilton is supposed to be an Obama county an he leads early returns. Obama is winning Elkhart

Clinton should win overall but these counties will make it closer at least IMO
