Clinton “Wins” Indiana

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Democrats, Hillary, Indiana

She’s up by about 22,000 with 99% reporting so MSNBC is calling it.
However, there’s a lot of absentee ballots yet to count, so we’re not going to know the real totals, but it’ll be hard for Obama to make up over 22,000 votes.
Amazing night folks. See you in the morning!
