CNN

Long live Senator Obama!!! I am very happy today. Indiana and NC have made a great decision today in American History. This will serve as a warning to those who are bent on destroying Obama to pave an untrustworthy way for Hillary.

Obama wins by 14% in NC, Clinton wins in Indy by 2%, What is there to discuss further?...............Stay in , raise more money, and get the "AMERICAN PEOPLE", to pay your debts off..............................

further i do not agree with our elected officials in moving up the voting date, it was a dumb move on their part.

LT for obama, i never once blamed obama in my letter, i do not blame the candidates for our troubles, our troubles lie with the DNC, all i have done is ask for them to step up for US since our STATE as you so blatenly and erronously put it, has done NOTHING for either florida or michigan.

all i have done here is to ask the candidate that i support to go ahead and continue what she has started tonight, to have our voices heard.

as for your voice, i appreciate your input, but i do not look to have someone who obviously did not hear what clinton said tonight weigh in on MY opinion and try to put words in my mouth, I HAVE NOT BLAMED ANY CANDIDATE, read my letter again because you obviously misread it. Again all I have done here is to address THE CANDIDATE THAT I SUPPORT.

Check your facts before you flame a person's blog

Even if she wins the final primaries at 60% to his 40% and gets half the super delegates she wont win.

Its funny how this topic is about how close these two candidates actually are. I hear non-stop how if Hillary Clinton is to get the nomination then she would be "stealing it " from Barack Obama. These two candidates are so close in all aspects of this competition that the only way for either one to become the nominee is to have done so on a technicality. The way the media changes its mind about the race is ridiculous. Even Obama said that Hillary would win Pennsylvania and he would win North Carolina, he went on to say that since Indiana is a toss-up whoever won there would break the tie. But now that Hillary won Indiana he no longer feels its the game changing tie breaker that it was hyped up to be. Its merely another state that Hillary Clinton won and is thrown out to be not important. So my question is why now that Hillary won Indiana is it no longer important?

Oh contrare, but you said we could not win a big state. North Carolina is a BIG STATE! And we won! Now go home.

Marden Moore,

This letter you wrote needs to be addressed to the elected officials of your STATE. They are the ones who broke the rules. That you went out and voted even though you were told it would not count is not the fault of Clinton or Obama.

I am so sick of people blaming the candidates for the misdeeds of the ELECTED officials of Michigan and Florida. I swear, if I read one more post blaming either of them, I will scream and then you really will hear MY voice all the way from California.

Stop the madness and take your fight to the ones who created it in the first place. As I say, play fair or don't play at all.

did the mayor of GARY deliver the votes of REV WRIGHT vs. LOU DUBBS AND WOLF

VOTE FOR OBAMA!! THE TRUTH WILL PREVAIL IN THE ENDS. . IT'S TIME FOR CONFIDENT, CHANGE, AND TRUTHFULNESS. NO MORE LIES FROM THE CLINTON. NO MORE REPEATS. THE FUTURE IS DIVERSE AND NEED A PRESIDENT WHO WILL GIVE US HOPE! THIS IS HOW I FEEL AFTER I VOTE FOR OBAMA, CONFIDENT, INTELLECT AND TRUTHFULNESS.

The bottom line is that at this point, she is crying in her pillow. She needed to cut into the NC win significantly and win Indiana by for more than 2%. This is a huge loss for the Clinton camp even with the state of Indiana won.

Obama has gained a clear 200,000 popular votes after deducting the 22,000 for Indiana. Even the experts are saying that she does not have the argument for the superdelegates that she will be wooing tomorrow.

We need to move forward, the superdelegates need to cast the remaining votes this week and end this mess. I wish I could say that we should let the remaining states cast their votes but the more this goes on the worse she gets and we need to unite this party ASAP. Time to put the republicans to bed.

A win is a win. TIme to donate to Hillary.

Hillary your kitchen sink strategy, gas tax holiday pandering days are number!

Obama for change!

Meet me in Indianna! Meet me in Texas!! Meet in Ohio!!!
Meet me in PA!!!! Okay, now where next? Just reverse this scenarion. Let us say Hillary had Obama's numbers (delegates etc), and Obama (the black unknown) had Hillary's numbers, would you not say that the whole of America would have been calling on the black man to drop out?

This is a land of opportunity for the few, not for those who work hard!

Those who want this race to continue for their own hidden agendas have ended up with a lot of egg on their faces!!!

In the next few days & weeks the so far uncommitted super delegates will effectively decide who the nominee will be. Watch out for some surprise crossovers among super delegates who have been disgusted by the tactics that were adopted by the Clinton campaign.

The character issue has stood out like a sore thumb in HRC's campaign – untrustworthy to the core!! Bill Shneider has rightly highlighted the issue in analyzing the exit polls. Good ole Abe Lincoln couldn't have said it better – "You can fool some of the people some of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time"

I think Hillary winning by a slim margin in indiana amidst all the problems that Obama has had in the past weeks is a clear signal that the people want Obama as their candidate. To all those Hilary fans, its time to accept defeat and move on. come november, Ma cain will be declared winner

A win is a win,

cnn you disgust me, I stayed up way past my bedtime for you to tell me that Hillary swept Indiana, I am not even going to to tell you what I think about your network. I think that you have lost a lot of your fans.

I hope that when Sen. Obama becomes President, you will be nowhere close to the White House!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God I think cnn is just despicable!!!!

listen folks he won N.C. by a good margin of 14 points and she squeaked by in Indiana she lucky she won because Barack could've very well have over taken her, but you know what it is what it is and he got the larger state with the most delegates and is still in the lead in

the popular vote–even if they count florida (and that's only because he was on the ballot in florida and not in Michigan so let's get that straight. they went against the rules and decided to do what they wanted to do and now they have to face the consequences.)

the delegates

and more states won. also he's gaining on her in supers so stop hating on this man and give it up for him. he won and he will continue to win and still be ahead then what will you Hillary supporters have to say? she doesn't deserve the nomination and never did deserve it because she's devisive and underhanded she's a liar and a thief stealing everything that Barack says. this woman doesn't have an ounce of integrity in her.

Obama 08 all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Larry G, why not write Rev. Sharpton and ask him instead of Obama supporters (because that is obviously who you are directing this to)?
If this is the only concern you have for Obama then I am concerned for you. You should be more concerned with our dependence on oil and how many more homes will be foreclosed on before something is done. Your concern should be how could Obama make these problems better instead of what he thinks about what Don Imus/Rev. Sharpton should have done. Are you less concerned with what Hillary was thinking when she helped to send our troops over to Iraq or when she remembered sniper fire that did not exist?

Also, presidency is incorrectly spelled but how is remaining married to a man accused of rape in 1978, an obvious womanizer and cheater, the man who signed Nafta, and who has sold the USA out to China, as well as a race baiter himself compare to remaining in a church that has helped him realize his faith in God. BO has said over and over that he is committed to the church and not the pastor. I know many people who go to the same church their parents, grandparents, or even great-grandparents went to with pastors changing several times because the church community is good and this is where they have grown and gotten to know people (not just the pastor).

It is quite funny that Indiana was suppose to be a major victory for Clinton but when she barely wins it is still considered a huge victory seeing as though she needed to win 65% of the remaining contests after Pennsylvania. Not only did she not do what was necessary to stay in the race but she cannot successfully claim that BO is unelectable. How could she claim that in the first place when she has not been the frontrunner since February?

Marie, a lot of people thought Indiana would go to Hillary by 4-5 points. But it is essentially a tie.

Why wouldn't Hillary win in Pennsylvania and Ohio? The Retard states.

Get a clue guys, Hillary is done for, even if she wins Kentucky, West Virginia and Puerto Rico (Territories don't count, according to you) she will not have enough to overcome Barack Obama, I suspect more superdelegates will flock to Obama after tonight.

An Open Letter To All Of The United States:

I am a 23 year old citizen and I believe that I can represent the future of this great nation. I also believe that I can speak for the Great State Of Florida and The Great State Of Michigan when I say that when I heard Sen. Clinton's speach tonight, I cheered loudly as I heard her ask for our voices to be heard.

I am outraged and I am not alone, my fellow citizens in these 2 states cannot believe that we have been silenced and told, quite bluntly, that because we voted early, that we should lose our right to vote.

This is an utter injustice and I see only 2 possible outcomes:

One: Our voices are heard, our votes count and the Democratic party stands united in our effort to effect the necessary changes to right the sinking ship that is The United States right now.

Two: Our voices are silenced, we stand disenfranchised and we are not seated at the Democratic National Convention.

It is my wish for Sen. Clinton herself to respond to this letter since she has finally given citizens in these 2 states a ray of hope.

To my fellow citizens in these 2 states, I have only one question for you:

"If our voices are not heard now, then why should we vote in the general election?"

To Sen. Clinton, I have only one thing to say:

If our voices are not heard, if we are denied our right to vote, if we are not seated at the convention, then I promise you, I will abstain from voting in the general election and I would hope that my fellow citizens in these 2 states follow in my example. If are votes do not matter now, then why would they matter in November?

Our constitutional right to vote has been violated and it is inconceivable that the Democratic Party has betrayed our trust and denied our rights as Democrats, nay as citizens of The United States Of America.

I close this letter in the hopes that our states' voices can be heard.

Sincerly,

Marden Moore

A Citizen Whose Voice Apperently Does Not Count

REALITY HAS SET IN!!!

SIGNED

SEALED

DELIVERED.

THANK YOU SO MUCH NORTH CAROLINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama definitely has the nom

Something strange about IN primary.
Why did media start reporting the results while the voting were still going on at Lake county, In and NC? Shouldn't they must wait until all polls are closed? Imagine those last minute voters listening the results as they are going to their polling place and Hillary was winning more than 20% in Indiana. Some people may cast their vote just to be on the winning side.

I think the way media played today was totally unfair practice. I didn't see any media reporting NC winning margins until past 8 PM, but I saw all media showed Hillary's winning more than 20% in IN before even the polls are closed. Can you call this a fair game? Shame on the media!

You know, you can say what you want about how he's nothing but a bunch of speeches or whatever, listening to him speak versus listening to her speak is like night and day. In the vernacular of today's youth, that dude spits game. She's just plain boring to listen to. And her speeches kind of go all over the place as opposed to moving from one point o another in a flowing manner.

And at the end of the day, don't we want someone sitting at the table with foreign leaders that can use the only thing at his disposal, his words and his voice and his ability to persuade?

I think that this race is OVER. Hillary it is over you barely won Indiana and LOST North Carolina by 14 points. What does that spell? DEFEATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary Clinton's win in Indiana was not only by a slim margin. It was also a product of political machination. Republicans crossed over to vote for Clinton because they fear Obama. Secondly, students and other young people who desired to vote for Obama were prevented from doing so by the requirement of government issued identity cards. Other reliible identiy cards such as student identity cards were rejected. Certainly, not everyone in Indiana has a driving license!

Obama would have won by a comfortable margin, but he was cleverly prevented from doing so. Hillary's win was fake.

Hillary should now consider dropping out. Obama has gained momentum to be the nominee now!! The Indiana win to Hillary is practically insignificant compare to the double digit margin in North Carolina.

Despite all the negative campaign against Obama over the past weeks, he has come out more presidential.

I would Like to congrat Obama, and Hillary On thier Win tonight...

Why is that the Majority of the votes are Black, voting for Obama, I've my answer, the reason why is Most Black people want a black man in the White House, which is perfectly Fine, The only issues I've Is that majority of the vote is based on color, creeed, and Race Not based on experince, We should be voting based on How much experince they have, What can they do for Our country, Not based On thier other issues, I'm the type that takes the whole pictures and disect it, I'm whole heartly disappointed with Obama, Not puttin his hand on his Heart, Or a us Flag lapel on his Suit, Or his remarks to Don Imus, about the Girls Basketball, I belive the man has intergerity, Honesty, and For the Most part HUMAN. I like to see Obama get more experince under his belt, in foreign and domestic affair, A better understanding what this country needs, he talks about change but what are those change I still have not heard what they are.

Again Congrats to Obama and Hillary on thier Win

The race in Indiana was very close, that the republican cross-over was crucial for giving Clinton a slim less than 2% win. This is enough lesson for the super-delegates, to end this long campaign and unify the party! There is absolutely no reason to delay in declaring Obama as the presumptive nominee!

stop the hate already, and get used to your new president as Hillary commended you to!

Hillary 08!!!!

Why are we pressing the MAYOR of Gary, IN to speak for ALL of Lake County. If that is the case, then why wasn't the mayor of Hammond, IN not pressed for more information about the delay in reporting results. This is especially true since John King reported that the initial 28% that was first reported was from GARY,IN and other rural counties south of Gary had not yet reported. It appeared to be a miscommunication. That is, I think the mayor of Gary was simply not getting that they were asking him about "machine votes" and he persisted with his 11,000 absentee ballot explanation. I think everyone just needs to get some sleep!

Please reopen the Rush ticker back up for comments because judgeing by the fact she only won by 22,000 votes I would have to imagine that at least 22,000 republican's followed Limbaugh's orders and without these dittoheads she would have lost.

INDIANA VOTER FRAUD?
It is a disgrace and should be against the law, when Americans vote for a nominee in a primary and the only intent is to throw the primary election so that the candidate that is elected can be beaten by "their real" candidate from the party that they came from.

This skews the polling data (e.g. white blue collar voters, etc.) and gives false impressions. It is done with mal intent (to throw an election), no different than voter fraud and or voter intimidation. The Democratic party Super delegates/un pledged delegates are in need to protect the integrity of the Democratic party and the process.

It is imperative that analysis is conducted on all of the primary season contest, to either determine that indeed the primaries were breached and the results are skewed or it is not enough to worry about.

At the very least, it is something to consider in rule changes for future elections. If indeed they were, then it is the responsibility of the Super delegates to consider the projected outcome minus the skewed data when considering the Democratic Nominee.

The begining of the end for HRC

How did the that guy become the mayor of gary county? He sounded like an idiot repeating himself 4-5 times.

I know it takes time to cheat but, man, that Gary mayor really screwed up with this election fraud. What the heck? They waited to see how many votes Obama needed so they knew how many Hillary ballots they'd have to trash? Bad enough they pulled that nonsense in Guam. Did Obama really think he could do this in the states and no one would notice? LOL. Mayor Daly needs to run some more seminars on how to miscount the vote before West Virginia and Kentucky. Go, Hillary! She's our girl! I dare say the Super Delegates are taking note of what Obama's new politics looks like when he gets desperate and cheats to win. Shame that he's a fraud. I feel sorry for all African Americans who are being disgraced by Obama. The blacks I know would NEVER cheat! Never!

So basically Indiana was a spiritual win.

Too bad for Hilary that that's not good enough...

Not that I'm voting for either one. I just want to dance on her political grave.

She barely won after Rush constantly pressured republicans to go vote for clinton (which they did). It shows you who indiana TRULY wants.

I am from NC and it disappoints me that our state as usual is on the wrong team – recall we voted for both Bush terms as well. But it does make sense because NC has a large population of African-American voters, a large student population, and a great many label buying trend lovers who have bought into the notion that one of Obama's primary voting blocks is comprised of educated, higher income individuals. Well I am a member of that so called voting block and yet Obama's empty rhetoric does not resonate with me AT ALL. It can also definitely not be said that I would not support an African-American candidate because I certainly would like to see the white male domination broken and quite frankly the only good thing about Obama in my book is that he would accomplish that objective. Hillary though would do it with substance and experience. I cannot imagine any circumstance under which I would put a check in a voting box beside Obama's name – I will just have to see what my options are come November. In any event, whatever Senator Clinton decides to do either continuing with the pursuit of the nomination or moving on to better endeavors – I thank her for her efforts and have an ever growing admiration and respect for her drive and commitment.

Indiana is insignificant..... it is a small state ....right Hillary.

So Indiana is a tie, but Guam was a big victory for Obama? Oh and Melissa, it's great that the 88% white population in Indiana voted without much regard to the candidates' race.

I'll take a 14 point blow-out in NC, and a 2 point squeker in Indiana any day. Obama has padded his lead in both the popular vote and delegate count. The people have spoken, now it is the superdelegates turn to speak up and commit to whomever they choose.
BTW, the votes from Gary were already counted. The delyaed votes, which went to Hillary were from the southern part of lake County.
Obama 08

Hillary can please give it up now?

I'll take a 14 point blow-out in NC, and a 2 point squeker in Indiana any day. Obama has padded his lead in both the popular vote and delegate count. The people have spoken, now it is the superdelegates turn to speak up and commit to whomever they choose.

Yes We Did. Obama will be the greatest president of the century.

Make sure you thank Rush Limbaugh and his hate mongers Hillary.The supers know what happened.Now I see why they are needed.

Good job making yourself look foolish, Mayor McDermott

You get all uptight about "improper" votes being withheld, accuse the Gary mayor of illegal activity (when the Gary vote totals were already released to the public), all while rolling your eyes like a child

When those "improper" votes finally come in, they are overwhelmingly for Clinton. Good job, Mr Mayor

yay!! hillary's from guam ,too!!!!

Obama? Too detached from anything real. Big words, no substance. Hillary loses, then Go McCain. Change, change, but what change... rhetoric is all. It either Hillary, or go Republicans!! Obama is not even the question to consider.

I can't wait untill tomorrow. I'm expecting to wake up in time for breakfast news telling me of all the superdelegates who have announced their support of Obama.

After this weak performance, the Clinton-train is about to be derailed.

GO OBAMA!!

Killed Hillary in N.C. and cleaned up most of the delegates in Indiana. Seems like the bad press about the Wright controversy didn't do much damage as some people may have thought...hmmmm!

yup- obama did really well in all these red state that will completely ignore him in the general.

Why she is still in the race?She needs to wake up and starts smeliing the hot coffee.Her road to white house needs to be detoured to New YORK, where she belongs to.It is definately
over for her and her dream to become a first lady president is
naturally dead.BYE , BYE CLINTONS.

Obama is true winner in this.

After 2 ROUGHEST weeks, all Hillary could do is lose a state (NC) badly and squeak by in Indiana at best

Also, Lake County results need to be investigated. Some manipulation of results there, it seems

i think someone needs to investigate the abilites & performance of gary's mayor. he can't answer a simple question , such as the one that was asked. thank you, sue boyll .terre haute,in.

This is basically a tie as we are only looking at delegate counts. Most of us do not care about who "wins" just who is picking up more delegates. The last 3 hours spoke to probably one delegate. What a waste of time.

Obama is the winner of all woooooooooooooo hooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Obama! I just put in a few dollars, as in 10 bucks more for you ........................ Go Go Go Goooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Hillary's unrelenting campaign of latent racism and demonizing Obama – unethical claims of victory and scapegoating of Obama as supressing votes in MI and FL – while pumping up on testosterone to morph into the most macho candidate since Regan is a formula to win her margin over the short term. But, it brings SOOOOOO much baggage it has made her even more unelectable. Hopefully enough superdelegates will fear her truncated shirt-tails and train-wreck-waiting-to-happen in mid-term elections to finally declare for Obama.

Obama is so wrong if he thinks that he can unify this party...he cant....there is way too much animosity going on between the supporters. The Obama supporters must represent just how he is truly...rude, arrogant, and just plain nasty! I could really care less about the Democratic party and being a "good" democrat...I have my own convictions and I will NOT vote for someone whom I believe will do this country and it's people any kind of harm. And, hey...it's not that he's black!!! I really liked him before I found out what he's truly about (or what he's not about)At least with John McCain, I know where he stands and how much he LOVES our country~Obama, can say he loves the US all he wants....But actions speak louder than words! So, good luck with your vote in the fall~ cause you'll need it and the joke will be on you!

SOME LANDSLIDE FOR CLINTON. HA, HA, HA. OBAMA 08'

Considering operation chaos was in effect, I'd say that Obama did really well in BOTH Indiana and North Carolina.

A win is a win and no matter what it said about it. You cannot give the nomination to one side when the race is 50/50. Somebody is going to feel cheated. The only answer is for both of them to be on the same ticket, otherwise we loose big time in November. The city folks like Obama and the blue collar rural folks like Hillary. We need both to win

It's to late, moderator. I took a screen shot of ryan' post where he used the n-word for Obama. Do a better job next time.

Thank you Indiana for basically a tie!! Thank you very much North Carolina for a landslide victory!!

Absolutely, the nomination belongs to Obama!!

Obama/Sebelius '08

By the way. Indiana looks like quam!

Ted

Doesn't matter, the true winner tonight is Barack Obama.

So much for Hillary's turn of the tide.

I don't know Shannon, but there are people stupid enough to vote for Hillary in his state.

I Can't vote for Obama, he is too corruptand, and no one knows it YET! They will soon find out if he is nominated. Guess I will switch to the independent party before the fall election.

wow- the county probably would have put obama over the top if CNN didn't stop the fraud before it happened. I think that is the best thing about this primary. for the first time every vote counts and everything gets vetted. all elections should be run like this.

Lake County results need to be investigated. Some manipulation there.
Manipulated count in that county, it smells bad

On the subject of late votes, why did'nt anyone complain about the rural Lake County, IN coming in so late? Obviously the rural towns have fewer voters so those votes should have been in right away. Is the Mayor from Hammond going to comment on the possible "shennanigans" in those late rural counts?

I have been holding my breath for three hours. Good for Hillary.

Good point, Lat13. CNN, please take note of Guam.

Oops typo:

Way to go Hillary! Way to effectively tie in a state that is 88% white.

Thank you NC, Thank you IN!

Thank you, thank you, thank you SOOOOOOOOOO much for not leaving any doubt in nour minds that this nomination belongs to Barack Obama!!!!!!!

Obama all the way

Hillary gets another win and it's right in Obama 's backyard!! Why wouldn't Obama win in N.C.?? Also, wasn't he supposed to win by 20 points in N.C.????

Well, there is no way for her to win the delegates or popular vote – EVEN IF we give her Florida and Michigan.

It's over – OBAMA 08

1936? What about Guam's 7-vote margin last Saturday? That was also 50.1% I guess once again the Territories (and caucuses) don't matter.

question for discussion on the election, and the total from lake county,
I'm concerned about obama way of thinking, Remember when Don Imus made the joke comment about The Girls basketball, Obama was asked if he would go back on Don Imus show and he stated That I would Not be part of anyone that makes racist remarks, I've two beautiful african american girls, I would not want them subjected to that type of racist remarks, But Its Ok, for Obama when the first comment was made about Wright, We had the Rev sharpton on the bullhorn gettin Don Imus Fired, but We don't see Rev sharpton on the bull horn with Wright, I feel if You in a church for 20 years and subjected to that type of preaching it can rub off on You like it did In Pa, when Obama stated Pity on the American People. How is this going to reflect his Presedency.

Definitely not the best way for Obama to lose. This will raise alot of eyebrows.

Way to go Hillary! You effectively tied in a state that is 78% white!

how many votes, ?? please CNN post how many votes, this is a tiny lead..................for someone who thought it will win by a major win.

i say check the official state website, i dont trust cnn..............

Why does there have to be something "rotten" in Lake County? The county has a large black population (tends to favor Obama). The county has a large city in its borders (tends to favor Obama). It borders Obama's "home" state of Illinois (tends to favor Obama.

And yet with all of that, he is only winning by about 10 percentage points.

If anything, I would say that Clinton supporters should be calling that a success that she has done as well there as she has.

Great point IFO. Give it a rest you guys. Mayor Macdermott seems to be suffering from multiple personalities. The Hillary supporter is already making insinuations. Lake County does not answer to the media, they will release the numbers when they feel it is appropriate. Make sure to watch Jon S. tomorrow. He will roast CNN.

The two mayors that CNN had on the show tonight were retards. straight up.

I'm watching the Election Center on CNN, and Lake County is fascinating! I'm a citizen of Indy/Marion County, but I was reading Mike Royko's 1970s exposé "Boss" about Richard J. Daley & the Chicago political machine. I may be thinking conspiratorially, but what's happening in Gary is sounding a lot like Chicago in the 50s and 60s. Kudos to John King & Wolf Blitzer for being persistent in pressing the Gary mayor about the ballot counting!

By the way, CNN just declared Hillary the winner.

Hillary won!!! Thank you Indiana!!

Oh geesh, like a little absentee ballot controversy's gonna make a difference in a state primary--what came of the controversy when gore got shafted on the absentees in florida?

Just in .... Hillary 51% Obama 49%... 99% in

Rudy Clay is a MORON !!!

Did anyone hear him on CNN????

Are they too stupid to use computers in his city?

I'm an Obama supporter, and even I'm disturbed by Rudy Clay's behavior. Looks like it's going to be a moot point though. Lake is 98% in, almost all the other counties are 100% or 98% in, and only Union County is unreported, and it's tiny, rural and likely to go for Hillary.

Congrats to the Clinton camp for a close win in Indiana, and congrats to the Obama camp for a net win in delegates on the night (including a major win that I feel proud to have been a part of).

mayor clay is being completely evasive. good job CNN vetting this thing out. Clay is SUSPECT.

Congratulations to the Clinton campaign. You had the best 2 weeks of your campaign to date, with Obama getting hammer from all sides, and you barely squeek by in Indiana, and get slaughtered in North Carolina. You lose more ground on popular vote, lose another state, and net lose more delegates. A banner night.

This mayer of Hammond guy is a moron. Public speaking os obviously not his forte. The Gary mayor was worse.

Why is Monroe county still counting votes (Clinton area) and why is CNN not talking about it?

I am a local Northwest Indiana resident and can honestly say that my area has totally dropped the ball on this whole primary. And no offense CNN, but you are not smart putting on Gary Mayor Clay. That guy is an absolute moran and is totally taken Gary two steps back in a process of revitalizing Gary. I believe he is as corrupt as any politian out there.

she won by 2 points .. congrats to her still ...........

Just did the math with 99% in and its now impossible for Obama to win even if all the remaining votes went to him.

Time to call this for Clinton.

Why is Monroe counting still counting votes (Clinton area) and why is CNN not talking about it?

This primary has been over for some time, hillary and her supporters need to figure that out and let reality reign.

Wow, give all the absentee ballots to Obama, she will still win. Just call it.

Hanky Panky. Looks improper. Mayor McDermot Lake County says.

Rudy Clay of Gary has no good answer for him.

Something is fishy in Lake County all right!!

It is clear that Obama, in spite of all of Hillary's negative tactics, swept North Carolina and essentially ran to a tie in Indiana. If Hillary can't win with Bill Clinton running for her, and she can't win all the big states (as she used to claim), and she can't win the popular vote (as she used to claim), and her super-delegate lead has practically been erased–why in the world is she in the race? At this point it looks like she just wants to ruin Obama's chances in 08 so that she can take another bite at the apple in 2012. Shame on her!

Something is rotten in Lake County. The mayor of Gary Indiana couldn't answer a simple and straight-forward question about non-absentee ballots. And he happens to be an Obama supporter. Even if nothing illegal is occuring, this will leave alot of voters wondering.

Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,!

Thank you Indiana!

Go Obama!

Ha,ha,ha! Yes we can! Yes we will!

Hey Hillary supporters – are you guys still up!

Why are you beating this dead horse about the absentee ballots?

The answer is plain and simple. They didn't WANT to release anything without including the absentee ballots. That's the way they wanted to do things, so that's the way they did it.
