MSNBC Just Changed Indiana To “Too Close To Call”
By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Democrats, Hillary, Indiana, MissouriIt had been “too earlier to call.”
They also likened it to Missouri.
And we all remember what happened in Missouri…
I’m calling it for Obama. Yeah, that’s right, ME!!!Here’s why…if you look at the counties who haven’t reported all their votes yet they’re all going to go for Obama.
I honestly can’t believe he pulled this one out, but he did.
Take that Reuters!
Will I get to say “Take that CBS!” tonight? We shall see.
But oddly enough, Obama actually just conceded the state to Hillary in his victory speech.
More as it develops…

Despite the fact that the leaked Feb 5th Obama campaign strategy memo said that Obama expected to win Indiana by 7 points, despite the fact that Obama called Indiana a tiebreaker two weeks ago, it is clear that:
1) Clinton failed to do what she needed to do tonight.
2) The Clinton campaign badly mismanaged the “expectation” game (including Hillary herself with the “game-changing” comment”)
3) The fact that late breaking votes went to Obama, may mean that Dems are finally ready to end this.
If you are right, Justin, and he pulls a victory out of Indiana, this is certainly over. But even if it is within a couple of points, the Clinton campaign may have been dealt a mortal blow. The Clinton story unwinds, as the popular vote will be out of reach, even with MI and FL. Obama may have finally “closed the deal” tonight and answered that question also. There is not enough meat in this outcome tonight to hold the super delegates for Clinton.
Most shocking of all, I may have finally called a primary incorrectly. This invokes a frightening specter that I may not be infallible. I am going to have to into seclusion and consider the meaning of this disturbing possibility.
