The Mayor of Gary is on CNN blaming it all on absentee ballots.
Doesn't really sound like the brightest guy...

Best info on election night finding the turnout for 2004. Bravo!! We have a friend who works for the Illinois legislature. They were all down today campaigning in Gary, and his sources say the mayor of Gary is just giddy at this point.

hey, I think CNN has the best graphics/graphs/technology-stuffs. Except for the floating pie chart. That was bad.

I think the best he can hope for in Laporte is to break even. But it might be more likely to net votes for Clinton.

LaPorte is country and white. There isn't much there. I would say Hillary country.

It's also on Chicago time and in the Chicago media market with regular commuter trains to Chicago that run every day, so who knows?

You might be right, Lars.

35,000 and still no Lake County.

always better to be magnanimous... it doesn't hurt him at all if he ends up winning... and he looks gracious in the mean time.

38,000 votes

I can't believe Obama conceded Indiana already. Let Hillary sweat.

I'd be surprised if he picked up more than 10,000 votes out of Lake (based on turnout of 120,000 and an 8% win). But margins matter, so the closer the better.

2008-05-06T21:35:40.284-04:00

there's still a pretty big chunk out in Tippecanoe county...I thought I had heard that this county could also be a big margin for Obama too?
