Obama Wins NC, Clinton Takes Indiana
Sen. Barack Obama wins North Carolina and Sen. Hilary Clinton barely wins the Indiana Democratic presidential primary. It’s supposed to be a tie now, right?
Mr. Obama called North Carolina “a victory in a big state, in a swing state, in a state where we will compete to win if I am the Democratic nominee.”
But Mrs. Clinton said that taken together with her win two weeks ago in Pennsylvania, Indiana was the key tie-breaker and “tonight we’ve come from behind, we’ve broken the tie, and thanks to you, it’s full speed on to the White House.”
The win edges Obama over Clinton as he topped in North Carolina by 200,000 votes and a strong showing in the Indiana voters. So if he wins the presidential nomination, more people would vote for him over McCain.
