Hillary Wins Indiana, Networks Say
It's official: Hillary will hang on to a victory, such as it is, in Indiana. MSNBC and Fox just called it for her.
With 99% reporting, Hillary wins it 51%-49%.
Given the magnitude of Obama's North Carolina victory, this falls far short of the split decision that the Hillary camp was hoping, at a minimum, to achieve tonight.
And it's not even a big enough win for the Hillary campaign to use in continuing to try to raise doubts about Obama's ability to compete in big states, either.
Right now, the pledged del count overall, from both states tonight, breaks down this way: Obama gets 80; Hillary gets 77; and 30 are still up in the air, more of which are likely to go to him.
Upshot: Just as tonight's popular vote gains for Obama effectively wiped out Hillary's gains from Pennsylvania, so, too, will his pledged del gains likely wipe out hers from the Keystone State.
