Okay, so Obama didn’t pull off an upset in Indiana. But the race ends where it began two weeks ago, making it that much harder for Clinton to argue Obama withers under scrutiny. Some interesting things in the numbers: Obama won the suburbs of Indianapolis. I was there last week and the area seemed to be trending to Clinton, on the experience issue. The areas a bit like Silicon Valley, where Clinton won. But I’m wondering if the “us vs. them” argument Clinton was making on the gas tax holiday issue, and her eschewing of economists, caused a mini-backlash in those affluent (might I say elite?) areas. Also interesting (and possible evidence for a backlash) in the IN results: Obama won, narrowly on the who’s most like me question in IN, and won handily on the who’s more trustworthy question.
It’s almost over. 93.3 percent of delegates are pledged. This am, on The Takeaway, the Clinton campaign’s Howard Wolfson almost seemed to sigh as he acknowledged the steep hill ahead of them. More later — tune into Brian and I (or download the podcast) as we discuss more at 10:00 am.

I was undecided. After yesterday I have decided that I am in favor of Obama…it is time for Hillary to throw in the towel.
I voted in NJ primary for Hillary Clinton but now support Barak Obama. The Clinton campaign has not been able to manager their campaign funds, as evidenced by constant borrowing from her personal funds. If they can’t manage campaign budget, how can she manage the US budget??
