As the final Indiana votes trickle in, it is already apparent that Obama scored a big "W" tonight.
He won handily in North Carolina and it looks as though Clinton will barely scrap out a win in Indiana. The delegate math is daunting for Clinton. But more importantly, it shows that Obama has still got it. Despite Clinton's 'momentum' and Obama's month and a half of news cycles from hell, Obama is still on top of his game. While the math has always been troublesome for the Clinton camp, their electability argument and superdelegate pitches have been undermined as well.
It will be interesting to see how the media analyzes the results, but I would be surprised if they didn't reflect on tonight as a decisive win for Obama.

Big Night for Obama

The reason for Obama's win is clear. It's reflected in David Brooks' latest NYTimes column (link below). In spite of Obama's difficult 3 weeks, "Obama still seems like a human being. He still seems to return each night to some zone of normalcy where personal reflection lives." What a contrast from his primary opponent, our current president and his general election opponent should he get the nomination.
