things look pretty good in Indiana so far. Obama is picking up some counties to the northwest of Indianapolis and he isn't getting totally slaughtered in his weakest areas. Definitely too close to call at this time.

Clinton Counts Florida, Michigan in Delegate Math

In a Primary Day photo-op at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Sen. Hillary Clinton offered more campaign-as-racing metaphors and indicated she has her own ideas about where, exactly, the Democrats' primary finish line will be.Life is unpredictable. Racing is unpredictable. Politics is unpredictable," the candidate told reporters standing in the garage of racer and Clinton supporter Sarah Fisher. To reporters' dismay, she didn't predict the outcome of the primaries.
Clinton was also asked about the delegate count: Would the race against Sen. Barack Obama end when she or he gets 2,025 delegates - generally accepted as the total needed to secure the nomination -- or 2,209 delegates, a number that includes delegates from Florida and Michigan?
The Democratic National Committee has said it would not seat Florida and Michigan delegates since their states held early primaries in violation of party rules.
Clinton said she thought 2,209 was number needed to win.
On Monday, Geoff Garin, her chief strategist had said on a conference call that 2,209 is "what we believe is the standard for deciding this is that who has a majority of the total number of delegates, including Michigan and Florida, that -- to decide the nomination," according to a transcript of the call.

Indiana nuns lacking ID denied at poll by fellow sister
By DEBORAH HASTINGS - 3 hours ago

About 12 Indiana nuns were turned away Tuesday from a polling place by a fellow bride of Christ because they didn't have state or federal identification bearing a photograph.

Sister Julie McGuire said she was forced to turn away her fellow sisters at Saint Mary's Convent in South Bend, across the street from the University of Notre Dame, because they had been told earlier that they would need such an ID to vote.

The nuns, all in their 80s or 90s, didn't get one but came to the precinct anyway.

Yeah, there's a diary up on Big Orange that suggests that as many as 15% of the voters for Clinton in Indiana have no intention of voting for a Democrat in the fall.

I'd have to go play with the numbers because I think they're off (and the diarist admits as much), but it's an interesting thought.

And as Kos himself points out, self-declared independents are still voting for Obama over Clinton. Berry berry important.

Harold Ickes warns of an October surprise with Obama?

WTF?
via Will Bunch

This is what Harold Ickes, a longtime advisory to both Bill and Hillary Clinton, told Mark Halperin of Time's The Page tonight:
"We don't know enough about Senator Obama yet. We don't need an October Surprise. And (the chance of) an October Surprise with Hillary is remote."
Will Bunch:
This remark is dismaying on several levels, partly because Ickes is virtually channeling Karl Rove, who implied something similar in a recent interview with GQ -- not backed up by any information of course. Just planting this vague idea in Joe Average Voter's head that there's something about Barry -- pick your vice, political or personal -- that all the kool kidz inside the Beltway know about, and it's going to pop one week before the election, is the only strategy here. As if the Clinton camp wouldn't use that information now, when they are still so eager to win but probably can't do so without a "game changer."

Jeffrey Toobin on CNN actually was able to shut demigod Lou Dobbs up by telling him that Obama already won states with white voters.

Pat Buchanan is stuck in the past and he is not even making sense with his "analysis."

The worst part about all of this is the demographics always stay the same in these contests depending on geography and the media focuses on what voters they can not get.

Plus, why do these cable networks think we need to hear Republican political hacks talk to the public about the democratic primary?

WARNING: Strong Language Follows (none / 0)

Paul Begala is a fucking idiot. His dumb ass should know better when it comes to the history of African-American support for Democrats. Blacks didn't begin switching from the GOP to the Democrats with JFK, it began in earnest with FDR and the New Deal. It was accelerated by Truman issuing an executive order integrating the army and by Truman's insertion of an integration plank into the '48 Democratic platform (back when platforms had some correlation to the policies that the party actually intended to pursue). JFK's Camelot helped and LBJ solidified it with the Voting Rights Act, but it was Richard Nixon's Southern Strategy that made our support of the Democratic Party nearly ubiquitous.

Hillary has the opportunity to undo all of that in the next few months by continuing in her campaign to destroy Barack Obama. I've never voted for a Republican for any elective office, but if Hillary manages to become the nominee then that will change...
