Watch Lake County!
There could be big news in the race tonight — the epic battle referred to in the last post. Hillary’s up 40K votes over Obama in Indiana with all of Lake County set to report. Lake County is demographically similar to Marion County where Obama picked up 60K votes. My calculations estimate he’ll pick up 40K in Lake County, making it a tie. I still think Hillary may win by picking up votes in some else of what is left.
But the next 30 minutes may be the most exciting of the whole election. If the Indiana primary ends in an Obama win or close to a head heat — as I think it will — that makes the case for Hillary go on a lot weaker.
There’s a nice interactive map over at the Politico. (It will probably not be there if you check in the morning, but it’s up for now — I can’t find a direct link to it but it’s on the top of the page.)
Update: CNN has an interactive map you can link directly to.
Update update: Hillary wins in a squeaker, 638K to 615K.
