A late update: Clinton's lead in Indiana has now shrunk to just over 16,000 votes with 95% of the statewide vote counted. I still think she'll win, but the outstanding vote totals are in Lake County...so who knows. I have a hunch a final call won't be made until tomorrow sometime.
A telling sign of how tonight's results have affected the Clinton campaign: She has canceled all public appearances scheduled for tomorrow (save a fundraiser in the evening).
Another sign: With Obama's 15-point blow out in North Carolina and with Indiana a question mark, the talking heads on TV seem to be in agreement. The Democratic nominee for president is Barack Obama.
Update: NBC is declaring Clinton the "apparent winner" in Indiana. I've never heard that phrase before. It's almost like the number crunchers at Rockefeller Plaza just wanted to go home. That said, I'm sure the final result will show Clinton winning by a point or two.
But the night belongs to Obama. He now leads in the national popular vote - and even if you add Florida and Michigan to the mix he holds on to that lead. As for delegates to the convention, Obama came out well ahead of Clinton tonight.
And now...I'm off to bed.
'night 'night!
