Thinking about Hammond, Indiana
MSNBC says that if Hillary outperforms in Hammond, IN then she has a chance.
My question is: Was she buying Chicago ad time for this primary? Hammond is in the Chicago market so unless Hillary had the money to bang on Obama on Chi-Town TV, then I think her chances of out performing expectations there aren't as strong as in somewhere like Ft. Wayne.
UPDATE: Per anonymous commenter, per CNN: The Hammond mayor apparently said that Hillary won Hammond, IN by about 600 votes.
If this is true, then this could explain the last vote update that took Lake County up to 56% and kept the vote margin around 17,000.
What I take from this is that the rest of the outstanding vote is Gary, IN. MSNBC has even guessed that 1/2 of Gary is still out there. If Gary holds true to the first vote release, Obama should pick up 20k more votes from the rest of Gary, IN.
That would put Obama in the lead.
