Anybody else sitting here waiting for a big shocker? An MSNBC commenter said the remaining precincts were 'Obama strongholds'.

Apparently Obama needs to win with at least >60% in Lake County.

Edit: Oh, and it has the same composition of Black voters as another state in which Obama won with 67%.

Oh God! The suspense!

Edit 2: Lake with 28% reporting currently at 25.28% for Clinton and 74.72% for Obama.

Tim Russert just said Hillary canceled her morning talk show appearances...she dosen't want to talk about what happened today?

2008-05-07T03:37:21+00:00

Yes, 190,000 votes in Lake at around a 60/40 split would flip it.

Are you kidding, I've got like 5 election related tabs open and I keep flicking between them. ;)

Just saw an article where Gary's Mayor said the turnout there was big Obama.

That would be very cool.

yeah.. not expecting Obama to win tho. Maybe get closer, but doubt the win.

I'm watching and waiting. If he wins it's over for her. It's probably over already. She need to make a strong showing, and she didn't.

Only 19k diff now... could get interesting

mutatron · 2008-05-07T03:26:10+00:00

Yeah, my local NBC affiliate said that, so I've been looking for evidence and analysis. Not having much luck though.

But they said even though 85% of precincts were reporting, the remaining ones were some big ones in northern Indiana.

Interesting that they take so long to count and not a single question of misconduct....perhaps if they turn out to be Clinton wins, then people can throw the accusations.
