Well, the results are rolling in in Indiana and North Carolina tonight. The pundits all seem to be calling North Carolina for Sen. Barack Obama. Some pundits (like CBS News, I think) are calling Indiana for Sen. Hillary Clinton, but others (like MSNBC) are holding out, noting that some of the precincts not yet reporting are more populated areas that include potentially strong Obama precincts.
With 75% of the precincts reporting in Indiana, Clinton is leading 52% to 48%. Clinton leads by about 39,000. With 55% of the precincts reporting in North Carolina, Obama is leading 56% to 41%. Obama leads by about 149,000 votes in North Carolina. I'm pulling these numbers, FYI, from the WashingtonPost.com website at about 8:50 p.m., central time.
