IN In Flux
With 86% of the IN vote counted, Hillary Clinton leads Barack Obama, 52% to 48%. Vote totals: 560,720 for HRC, 521,415 for Obama. But NBC's Russert is reporting that 220K ballots, from Obama strongholds, have yet to be counted.
"You can do the math," Russert said. "This could go either way."

Clinton +39,305
To swing the numbers, Obama needs at least 149,305 of the outstanding 220,000, or 67.9% of the vote. Obama has only reached this level so far in Marion, and only two other counties have him above the 60% mark.

If we are to believe CNN.com, 0% of Indiana's Lake County precincts are reporting. Lake Co. fits into greater Chicagoland (read: Obamaland). Hey may not rake in enough votes from Lake Co. to win the primary, but he can certainly narrow the gap enough to diminish Clinton's victory.

There's also 10,000 votes outstanding in Monroe County (Bloomington, U of I), which he is pulling in by 65% to 35%.
My by calculation, Obama needs 59% of the remaining 220K to win it. Longshot? Yes.
But doable. Especially when you consider that its Gary, and Bloomington which are still out.

The Limbaugh effect kept Clinton afloat in Indiana
