To the delight of most Republicans, it appears that Hillary Clinton could win a very narrow victory in Indiana tonight.  Early returns put her up by more than 10%, but as the numbers keep coming in that will narrow.  However, CNN’s exit polls show her with about a 2-3% lead over Barack Obama.  That may be a sign that she’s going to pull this one off — but just barely.

It doesn’t save her or change the dynamic of the race very much, but it does hold off the idea of a knock-out punch from Obama.  Clinton will live to fight another day, and the race will go on.

No word yet from North Carolina, but the leaked exit polls show an easy win for Obama.  If it’s a double-digit defeat, that’s going to be hard to spin for Hillary. 

We’ll just have to wait and see how things unfold the rest of the night.
