Well it depends on the voter turnout. Anyway the delay is not good. It suggestive of Chicago politics were the vote in some districts is withheld until they can get the right count. It is particularly not good fro Obama, being from Chicago and Gary, IN, a satellite of Chicago being the one hold out.

The less you speak about it the less you give her supporters or trolls to run with.
Just let it all come out, and then insert thought.

Check Booman his analysis is pretty on point 99% of the time.

Though the analysis omits the remaining votes to be counted in other counties, and there are a couple currently going Clinton's way.
None-the-less, it's a very good showing for Obama, and it seems that the Clintons were a bit dispirited curing the Senator's "victory" speech.

I may be wrong, but I think Lake County mirrors Indianopolis, except 1/2 the size. Smaller vote pool means he needs a larger share to cover a fixed gap, 40K.
Eitherway, there seems to be whispers that the margins are huge in Lake.

Hillary has to have her lawyers/monitors up there - Though this wait is ridiculous.

It could happen. Obama could pull this out yet. If it were to happen though, I'm not sure Clinton would drop out - which would be tiresome, ugly and desperate. In other words an extension of the road we've been on.
When push does finally come to shove though, will Clinton direct her supporters to embrace Obama? And will they listen? I've often wondered what percentage of her supporters are actually pro-Hillary as opposed to anti-Obama. Today's exit polls perpetuated my concern on the matter.

I think most of them are anti-black anyone AND pro-Bill Clinton. I have yet to meet, IRL, a Hillary Supporter who liked her or knew anything about her.

This is fun. Feels like 2006.

The first quarter of lake county looks good for Obama. That must be largely Gary.
