It's Going to Come Down to Lake County (Gary). The Bluest County in the State!

[Frank Booth]

Lake had 114,743 votes in 2004, 61% for Kerry.

For comparison, Marion (Indianapolis) had 162,249 votes, 50.6% for Kerry.

Obama's currently down by 38,000.

Could he make it up in Lake County? It's possible, if there was big turnout.

:woohoo:

[CalGator]

1. turnout will be key

It can happen. Either way, Sen Clinton is on pace to fall further behind in the delegate count considering NC. :toast:

[featherman]

2. Only down 35000 with Lake County not in yet! Incredible!

[Zynx]

Lake County is about 24% African American. It is conceivable.

That would be to my immeasurable shock if he won Indiana.

[cyndensco]

41. And it is right next door to Chicago - Obama country

[MadBadger]

3. He is down 3.2 percent

[harun]

4. Anybody know why Lake still hasn't reported anything yet?

[PM7nj]

6. They want to kill me with suspense.

[Frank Booth]

10. Just like Cleveland. Just like Philadelphia.

If I was a suspicious person, I'd expect that something may be going on, especially with Evan Bayh backing Hillary.

We'll see.

He's won the night already, but if he could win Indiana this race would end tonight.

[EFerrari]

19. You don't have to be suspicious. Elections are always stolen

in places like Lake County. Iirc, there was a massive purge of votes there for no apparent reason. There's already been stuff going on there. But it could be that whatever was tried, it won't be enough.

[Frank Booth]

24. Let's hope it won't be enough.

Considering he won Marion by 34, a 40 point win in Lake shouldn't be out of the question.

And that will get him the state!!

28. Evan Bayh would have very little influence here, if that makes you feel better.

[skooooo]

11. Someone who knows Indiana politics..

...told me that Gary is always last to report votes. They also said they could be sitting on them waiting to see how many votes are needed...lol. (joke - semi)

[faithfulcitizen]

33. lol...I know if I was in the Clinton camp waiting for Lake, I'd be worried. lol.

[skooooo]

46. no kidding..lol

[faithfulcitizen]

26. 2 reasons, they are on CT, unlike much of state & they probably hand huge turnout

They know there is a lot of pressure on them. They are probably overwhelmed actually.

[Jack Bone]

5. Tippecanoe( Purdue), Monroe(IU) still haven't finalized either

[anigbrowl]

9. Also a few thousand votes in Marion (Indianapolis) to come, looks like.

[faithfulcitizen]

31. don't think Muncie (Ball State) or Terre Haute are in either

[faithfulcitizen]

40. I'm looking at Johnson, Hendricks, Hamilton, Hancock too. They are Indy 'burbs.

[RainDog]

7. lake county/gary in 10 min - (10pm)

has Monroe Co. been called?

[skooooo]

14. Monroe county is still only at 23%

67% Obama there.

[skooooo]

8. Oh you know there will be a big turnout!!

But it may not be until tomorrow when we find out!

[ruby slippers]

12. where is the county that Notre Dame is in? Who did they go for?

the Catholic vote that everyone was watching for. Did it make any difference?

[alcibiades_mystery]

13. St. Jospeph's county (South Bend) went for Obama by 3,000 votes

100% reporting, 33,000 - 30,000.

[TheDonkey]

15. THIS IS GREAT!!!

[Ichingcarpenter]

16. They said at 11:00 they will get an answer and 300,000 votes to count

This is gonna be tight.

[Frank Booth]

17. 300,000????

Obama's got it if that's right.

[EFerrari]

18. He could win this.

:wow:

[woolldog]

20. Where's usregimechange???

I'd like to know a little bit about these counties that are outstanding:

Lake County, LaPorte County, Jackson, Jennings, and Wayne.

[faithfulcitizen]

35. Lake- HUGE & OBAMA, LaPorte: Big- Obama, Jackson, Jennings, & Wayne-small/clinton

[woolldog]

42. How many voters are anticipated in Lake County?

If it's about 200K and they split 65-35 as in Marion county Obama could win!!!!

[Frank Booth]

44. I don't think it will be that many, but if he wins it 70-30, and there are 110,000 votes,

he pulls it out in a squeaker.

Let's go Lake County election workers! Count all those votes!

[goodgd_yall]

21. I'm glad to see Notre Dame went for Obama

So much for all this Catholic voters vote for Hillary BS.:toast:

[Quixote1818]

22. That looks to be Obama by a squeaker. nt

[lonestarnot]

23. 41541 diff now

[blonndee]

27. delete--post to which I responded was edited

[lonestarnot]

29. I looked at the wrong numbers and fixed it.

Just back from taking son for extra credit assignment and too eager to catch up.

[blonndee]

38. That's what I figured! =) Easy to do that.

Thanks for the update.

[lonestarnot]

34. Sheeet! Lake County not in until 11 pm Central.

[roamer65]

30. Lake County ought to make it VERY close.

Sounds like this one will go to the wee hours.

[prolesunited]

32. I'm very familiar with this

This area NEVER reports until late. No conspiracies here.

[lonestarnot]

37. Either way it is fucking over! He is going to win it!

:applause:

[cyndensco]

43. I'm starting to believe...

Go Obama - Go Indiana!!!

[Zachstar]

36. Hopefully it will be very close!

[muryan]

45. Already been debunked multiple times here, and on DKos
