A Split Decision = Advantage Obama
Instead, it's once again Advantage Obama, as he should end up winning more delegates overall from Tuesday night, moving him even closer to a majority needed to secure the Democratic nomination.
"Tonight we stand less than two hundred delegates away from securing the Democratic nomination for President of the United States," said Obama at his post-election rally in Raleigh, North Carolina.
That delegate math is getting even more difficult for the Clinton Camp to stomach at this point, because if their options were limited before Tuesday, they are even more estricted now, as Obama gained delegates overall from the two contests last night.
While Obama's win in North Carolina was declared immediately at 7:30pm EDT, Clinton saw her lead dwindle in Indiana as the votes rolled in from the northwest of the state. Finally, at 1:12 am, the networks all joined early-bird CBS in calling the race for Hillary.
While Clinton does get political bragging rights for her win in Indiana, it was nothing like the big time win in North Carolina that Obama enjoyed, a 57-43 margin.
That win also made sure that Obama stretched his lead in the overall popular vote as well, returning it to where we were before Pennsylvania.
In other words, the race has hardly changed in the last two weeks.
That is not a recipe for victory when it comes to Hillary Clinton.
Onto West Virginia, that is, if the superdelegates don't end this race before next Tuesday.
