As the polls closed in North Carolina, Senator Barack Obama was immediately declared the winner. Soon after, Senator Obama made an incredibly stirring victory speech. He was clearly feeling a sense of relief, as once again momentum swung back in his favor with a decisive and commanding victory. The numbers, the math, the dynamics have been set. With 99% of precincts reporting in North Carolina, Obama received 888,269 votes or 56% of the vote (58 delegates) and Clinton received 655,169 votes or 42% (42 delegates).
"This has been one of the longest, most closely fought contests in history," Obama said at a victory rally in Raleigh, NC. "And that's partly because we have such a formidable opponent in Senator Hillary Clinton."
In an apparent answer to Clinton's criticism that he is ill-prepared to withstand Republican attacks, Obama said: "The question, then, is not what kind of campaign they'll run, it's what kind of campaign we will run... I didn't get into race thinking that I could avoid this kind of politics, but I am running for president because this is the time to end it."
“It's the idea that, while there are few guarantees in life, you should be able to count on a job that pays the bills, health care for when you need it, a pension when you retire, an education for your children that will allow them to fulfill their God-given potential, that's the America we believe in. That's the America that we know.”
The useful idiot corporate elitist media desperately tried to claim a big Clinton win in Indiana early in the evening, but as the results came in, the margin of lead continued to close. Announcements were made that final tallies would only come in extremely late into the night.
This was following an intensive and transparent media campaign to promote the objectives of the Clinton camp and disparage Senator Obama, leading up to the Pennsylvania primary and continuing even more intensely leading up to the May 6th primaries. Ultimately, Clinton barely managed to get by in Indiana winning 51% of the vote (37 delegates) to Obama’s 49% (33 delegates).
Senator Obama chalked up a win in the Guam caucus over the weekend, but delegates were evenly split between the two candidates at 2 each.
Republicans also held primaries in both states which were predictably won by John McCain. He received 78% of the votes in Indiana and 73% of the votes in North Carolina. More than 20 percent of those who voted in the Republican primary in Indiana voted for someone other than Senator John McCain, the party’s presumptive nominee.
