Obama Hopes to Steal Indiana and Seal the Deal

Senator Obama has won North Carolina, reports the New York Times. The victory is good news for the Obama camp, even though he was expected to win the state. The real battle however, is the Indiana primary which is also happening tonight. Clinton is reported to have a small lead at this point, with only a small percentage of precincts reporting. If Mr. Obama can manage to pull out the upset victory he would send a strong message to the super-delegates. Many political analysts believe if Obama can sweep North Carolina and Indiana, it will be enough to end what has turned into an exhausting primary that many expect will last until June. Hopefully, Mr. Obama will be able to turn things around in Indiana and bring some measure of closure to the Democratic party. Every day that Senators Obama and Clinton continue to compete, the Republicans and their nominee Senator McCain seem to be one step closer to the White House doors. I have my fingers crossed that with a little luck it can all end tonight, allowing Senator Obama to move put his full attention on the general election, which grows ever closer.
