Heading into Tuesday’s primaries, Hillary Clinton said North Carolina could be a “game changer,” meaning she could shake up the race by scoring an upset win over Barack Obama there.
But as Tuesday night turned to Wednesday morning, long after Clinton declared victory in Indiana, her lead in the Hoosier State continued to dwindle and Obama was on the verge of his own “game changer.”
Clinton’s victory speech included a new pitch for donations and she said she’ll continue to fight—“full speed on to the White House.” Meantime, Obama said he’s drawn within about 200 delegates of securing the nomination.
Neither Obama, nor Clinton can lock up the nomination on pledged delegates alone. If Clinton stays in the race, superdelegates eventually will have to make the call.
This morning you can bet a lot of superdelegates are watching the returns trickle in from Gary, Indiana—and wondering whether the results will change the game.
