Obama won North Carolina with 56% to Clinton's 42%, and Clinton took Indiana by a 2% lead. Obama's win in North Carolina is due to the 92% black votes and 55% of the college-educated ones. In both states, Clinton won among the white women, white working-class and rural voters. Obama's expected congratulatory speech to Clinton's victory was changed from "to her victory" to "what appears to be her victory." Undeterred by Clinton's narrow win in Indiana, Terry McAuliffe, Clinton campaign chairman, said "A win is a win, on to West Virginia!" The vote counts delay in Lake County came as no surprise to the Clinton group, as one source stated "The mayor of Gary is a huge Obama supporter and we believe they are holding the votes in Lake County deliberately to keep Hillary Clinton from going out to speak. We believe we have it but that they want to delay her speech." With a lead in the popular and delegate vote, Obama seems closer to winning the nomination. "Tonight we stand less than 200 delegates away from securing the Democratic nomination," he told cheering supporters in Raleigh, N.C., Tuesday night.
