Indiana and N.C. Primaries: Election 2008

So today is the day!

Indiana and North Carolina are on the map. They are ground zero as the largest of the final states that will participate in the Democratic Primary for President.

Currently, the polls are about an hour away from closing in North Carolina and the majority of the polls have closed in Indiana. Right now with 4% of the polls reporting, it’s no surprise that Hillary Clinton is leading the pack in Indiana. Though unscientific exit polls seem to say that more than 50% of voters in both states say that Clinton was the one to go negative in the campaign, she seems to be racking up votes in both states according to exit polling.

Now the interesting thing here is that Barak Obama has been leading in North Carolina by double digits for months yet, his lead appears to have eroded down to single digits (maybe as low as 6%) for the election.

What does that mean?

If indeed Hillary Clinton is launching unfounded negative attacks – then it’s working. I make no bones about that the fact that Hillary Clinton is my candidate but if she is coming out with unfounded attacks, I will be the first to say that she is wrong. But this is politics and she is saying nothing but the truth. I don’t see her making things up about Obama, I see her taking his record (or lack thereof) and his statements and giving her spin. You can’t hate Hills for that! The only thing to wait for now is are the results of this election, West Virginia and the Democratic Rules Committee Meeting on May 31st.
As the results come in, I’ll be watching and blogging with more.
