Obama wins big in NC, closes gap in Indiana

Big comeback night for Senator Obama, The polls had him winning North Carolina by 8 points he won by double digits points. That win pushes him closer to the 2,025 delegates he needs to win the nomination. Indiana was really close, the whole country was waiting for the results of one county (neighbor of Chicago) but Hilary Clinton ended up winning 51 to 49%. Obama overcame her early lead by winning big in hugely populated area(Indianapolis) just like in Texas. Don't be surprised if he ends up with more pledged delegates than her in that state.
The tone of her campaign has changed all of a sudden, she's canceled T.V appearances for Wednesday, it almost sounds like a concession win to The Obama camp. However, she vowed to keep going until the end to her dedicated supporters. By the end of this week a huge wave of superdelegates will commit to Obama, pushing Senator Clinton out of the race eventually. Time and math are working against her, these were the contests she was supposed to win to even make her case, with the drama that ensued after the Wright and "bitter" controversies, but Obama fought back, showing he could take a punch. He's a stronger candidate now more than likely to take the nomination.
