Yesterday I happened to post this in dansac's diary:
today's my b-day and this is my present. . . (65+ / 0-)
people working hard in NC and IN to bring Obama voters to the polls. (Thank you!!!!)
P.S. -- Obama victories in both states would, umm, be really really cool.

Well, folks, that present just keeps getting better and better!

Obama Wins North Carolina Decisively; Clinton Takes Indiana by Slim Margin

Last night on CNN, Carl Bernstein said that the past two weeks have been her best of the campaign: she was coming off the win in Pennsylvania and Obama had the Wright mess to deal with. The implication was: if she can't do better after two terrific weeks and Obama had his two worst weeks, then she's toast.
Andrew Sullivan writes this morning:
Clinton gets bragging rights for Indiana. But it's basically a tie. Overall, counting both states, Clinton won 1,273,696 votes; and Obama won 1,528,897. It was a 55 - 45 percent win for Obama in the popular vote. And it's now basically impossible for her to make a popular vote argument, even with Florida and Michigan. After the last month of unremitting Freak Show attacks, that's a remarkable show of strength and resilience. Obama's delegate lead grows. He will have the majority of the popular vote. He has far more money and far more donors. The logic of Clinton's remaining in the race dwindles to the point of vanishing altogether.
I could keep going, and you know it all anyway. I'm just groggy and grateful and a bit amazed. It really is the end, after all.
Thanks to all the people on this site who worked for this reality, in every state (small and large, significant and irrelevant), in every caucus and primary, in the snow and rain and sunshine. It is our day to celebrate, for it is finally happening.
