YIKES OBAMA JUST GOT 28,000 INDIANA VOTES. The mysterious “Lake County” just released 20% of its votes … and now the state total is Obama 49% v. Hillary 51%. We will keep updating this. Okay, the gap is now NINETEEN THOUSAND VOTES. All the remaining votes — most of them, at least, according to our Numbers King John CNN King — are in Gary. MORE »

The link is just to some AP story that doesn’t say anything we don’t already know. Hey here is some news: Hillary has no public events planned today, Wednesday, the day after. [DRUDGE REPORT] MORE »

Hey Clinton people, thanks for beginning a serious spamming of our comments (and every other political blog) the second Obama’s huge N.C. win was announced. So, you’re saying now North Carolina and Indiana won’t really count because now Michigan and Florida have to count, but all for Hillary? And that is obviously Obama’s fault, right? Let’s liveblog Hillary’s speech, which is going to not be a thing we are really looking forward to liveblogging, but thank god for wine. MORE »

Indiana is too close to call, and will be too close to call forever, so hoist another drink and let’s figure out what Hillary Clinton will talk about in her loser/possible winner speech, whenever she gets around to giving it. MORE »

Here’s Smilin’ Barry Obama, with wife Michelle, after (or just before?) his “convention speech” delivered to the usual adoring crowd, in Raleigh, North Carolina. Let’s run some more Obama porn for you people with your addictions, after the jump. MORE »

Can you imagine waking up in Indiana this morning, eating breakfast, maybe walkin’ the ol’ dog, not showering, getting in your car, driving to the local elementary school to vote in the Republican primary — the party that chose its nominee months ago! — signing in, showing your ID, getting into the booth and pulling the lever for Mitt “Willard” Romney? Can you imagine doing that? Can you imagine being that person, and having to live that person’s life every single day?

Here is your Relief Editor, clocking in one million hours after the polls have closed, and all we know is that Barack Obama won North Carolina and Indiana is filthy with Hoosiers. That pretty much brings us up to speed, right? Let’s LIVEBLOG the speech Barack Obama is about to give, explaining why he does not have “a tone of condensation” (that is what Tom Brokaw called it) when he talks to the Little People. MORE »

…And she’s single! Well maybe not, but Hillary Clinton will soon be single when Bill divorces her and becomes president again on his own terms. Because Hillary is losing her ass off in North Carolina, and will only win by like 5 points or whatever in Indiana (although they haven’t called), and Bill never loved her anyway. Then we can go back to liking Hillary ironically until she dies, in 2209 AD. More liveblogging? More liveblogging! MORE »

“Decisive victory,” says sleepy-face Tim Russert. Decisive enough? Or, as sleepy-face Tim Russert says two minutes later, “status quo”? How big did Barry win North Carolina? Nobody will say, just yet, but they will, so … Begun, this live blog has. (Part Two is here, Part One is here, the Pre-Game Commentary is here.) MORE »

After all, wasn’t the inventor of basketball, Al Gore, from Indiana anyway? These are two of the many questions surrounding tonight’s Indiana primary, which will be followed by a North Carolina primary like 30 minutes later. Results, that is. Is Chris Matthews punching Keith Olbermann yet, which is what he does to get off? Let’s liveblog more (part one here) and hope that Hillary doesn’t finally kill our souls forever.

7:30: Barack Obama projected to win North Carolina; Indiana too close to call but Hillz is winning. MORE »

Oh man, the polls are already closed in Indiana? What time zone are they on over there, 1952? Anyway, we’ve already learned that Obama’s got a double-digit win in North Carolina (doesn’t count because of blacks) and Hillary had a four-point lead in the Indiana polls, blah blah, he’s still handily winning as far as those delegates. Let’s see what the teevee tells us is the truth! MORE »
