CBS News Calls Indiana For Hillary
- 05.06.2008 - 8:31 PMCBS gives the nod to Hillary Clinton. Barack Obama managed to lose a state next to Illinois and lose among the familiar list of demographic groups - working class, women, seniors, etc. - that once seemed potential members of an impressive coalition. How big will she win and can it “balance” his win in North Carolina? Unclear, but she is unlikely to get the praise of the pundit class. The media and many Democrats will soon forget this was a “jump ball” state, discount her victory and inform her that the race is “over.” And the Democrats can ponder just how impressive a general election candidate Obama will be.

Her lead’s down to 6% and no votes are in from Gary or Bloomington. She’ll probably win, but will win ugly.

Some people compare BHO to JFK. Perhaps Lake County will do for BHO what Illinois did for JFK.
