Morning… WOW…a nail bitter in Indiana, BUT Hillary Clinton squeaked out a win. The counting went on into the wee hours of the morning, but she hung on to win the state by approximately 20,000 votes. Barack Obama won North Carolina and won it big!!! So now what? The Washington Post sums it up best this morning “The Democrats are putting the ’stale’ in stalemate. Barack Obama needed to ‘close the deal’ by beating Hillary Clinton in Indiana and North Carolina. Clinton needed a ‘game-changer’ so that she could have a viable path to the presidential nomination. But no deal closed and no game changed Tuesday night.” SO, while Obama takes the day off, there is no rest for the weary, Hillary will be in West Virginia this morning talking about the economy…It is ”FULL speed ahead,” says Hillary Clinton. On AC360 tonight, Candy Crowley will have ALL the campaign happenings from the trail today and some analysis from last night’s victory speeches….. John King will be at his magic map gaming out the remaining primaries and what it will take for each candidate to reach the finish line and secure the nomination… Barack is now ONLY 189 delegates away from the nomination… BUT will the focus in the next few days be on the five remaining primary states and Puerto Rico? OR on the uncommitted superdelegates? There are 264 of them to be exact. Which way are the leaning…the HILL is reporting this morning “uncommitted Democratic superdelegates in Congress overwhelmingly say they won’t necessarily back the presidential candidate who wins the most primary delegates. Instead, electability will be very important in their decision.” The Washington Times concurs “since both White House hopefuls have failed to translate their moments of front-runner status into a coronation, the fate of the Democratic nomination now rests with superdelegates and their interpretation of electability.” Tom Foreman will bring us up to speed on that front… The other big story we will look at tonight…MYANMAR…CNN’s Dan Rivers was the first Western journalist into the devastated country…Dan says it was difficult to find the words to describe the level of destruction…Survivors tell CNN how the wall of water left bodies in trees, bushes and streams..as of this morning, more than 22,000 have been killed and 41,000 are still missing. Myanmar radio reports that ninety percent of the houses have been flattened… Just tragic!! ALL for now…. Filed under: 1 Morning Buzz
