I don’t know if it’s been mentioned but outstanding Union County (in deep Clinton territory) only has 7,000 people in it. Residents, not voters. Of course, right now, every vote counts but at least it won’t have a whelming effect.
Monroe County is at 34/65 right now with Obama leading by 4,284 votes.
It’s Missouri all over again!

Listening to CNN feed on the internet but I missed that.
Vote fraud? What vote fraud? Where? What? Who?
Huh?
[/QUOTE]
I was being a little ironic, but the guy was saying it’s improper and weird that Lake County is not releasing any partial results. And he tied that into the recent Supreme Court ruling somehow. He said it looks just like Chicago vote fraud, where the political machine kingpins would find out how many votes they needed to win, and then just ‘discover’ those votes at the end of the night. Not that that’s what’s happening here, he says, he just felt obliged to point out the resemblance.

Ahh…seems internet feed is delayed. Just seeing that guy making the case you mention to Anderson Cooper.
Carry on.
CNN hasn’t updated in 12 minutes. It’s a nailbiter!
ETA: Just updated. 51-49!
ETA,A: Lake reporting 28%, breaking 75-25 for Obama
20,000 vote difference right now. Lake…Lake…Lake…Lake…Lake…Lake…

If Garfield’s numbers hold Obama should get it.
Sounds as though the early Lake numbers are from Gary (as opposed to the white suburbs) though so I don’t think they’ll hold like that.
Still 33% yet to report from Monroe though and 2% left in Marion. And Union County sitting uncounted for some reason.

As an aside when I was dating a girl who went to Indiana University we drove through a town in southern Indiana that had a sign up (not official) that said, “Nigger don’t let the sun go down on you here”. . .

. . . What year was this?
Is it worth laughing at McCain winning only 78% of the Indiana vote considering no one else is in the race?
Or should we be more concerned that 90,000 people voted for candidates no longer in the race?
If he actually drains a game winning shot at the buzzer, that might finally force Hillary to give up the fight.
Regardless, I think there’s a feel tonight that a corner has been turned. I just sense a general vibe that he’s weathered the Reverend Wright storm and has righted the ship. I think his unequivocal renunciation has helped. I wasn’t sure how it would be taken, but in the days following, I heard a lot of people saying they felt reassured by it, so I think it worked out for him. This is the most optimistic I’ve felt in weeks.

Better that than cross-overs for Clinton

I hope you’re right, but I really doubt it. I don’t think Clinton has that kind of integrity.

I shit you not though. My jaw dropped and I literally looked at the map for an alternate route. Of course I was already there and it was a place you drive through in 2 minutes and I am not black and there was no (practical) alternate route but still. I was absolutely shocked that such overt racism was on display like that.
My GF (who I married but is now Ex Mrs. Whack-a-Mole) could tell you lots more stories…one of which I related.
IIRC she said where she was was the place the KKK formed…or had a very major enclave…or something. I forget exactly.
This whole evening is coming off as a made for TV event. And then it’ll go Hollywood.
“Hoosiers, The Revenge.”
Too much drama for my taste…
Sheesh. It’s midnight on a work night and I find myself actually caring about what is happening Gary, Indiana?

Yeah, the hell with it. I’ll read about it in the paper in the morning.

The KKK was big in Indiana, very entrenched in state government.
Clinton is down to 2% in IN. Yikes, that’s hardly even a win. The pundits are saying her speech was as close to a concession as she’s made yet.

Wouldn’t bet on it. Presstime rapidly approaches.
I’ve heard (so sorry GD, this is a rumor) that Hillary’s canceled all appearances on talk shows tomorrow.
Welp. Guess I’m not sleeping tonight.
