Obama Wins North Carolina, Indiana Close!
CNN and the networks project that Obama will win North Carolina.
Update: Wow, with 21% of the precincts reporting in North Carolina, Obama is winning by 20 points! Indiana looks to be a very close race. Not a good night for Clinton.
Update 2: Holy crap, Hillary is only leading by 3-4% in Indiana now!! Chuck Todd said a lot of the votes still to come are from Obama strongholds. Hmm... Nail biter!
Update 3: OMG! MSNBC just narrowed the gap in Indiana to 2%, with Hillary only leading by 17,000 votes and still a few few huge Obama strongholds near Illinois yet to report in. Wow...
More updates to come here...

82-Year-Old Obama Supporter - Fired Up!
Aww, I love this. There was an 82-year-old lady at an Obama rally a while ago that was really fired up (see video here). She went on a morning show recently and just oozes positivity and excitement. I hope I'm this spritely when I'm 82!
The Empire Strikes Barack
Here's a video I saw over the weekend that I really like. It casts Barack Obama as Luke Skywalker and, surprise surprise, Hillary Clinton as Darth Vader.
