MAY I RECOMMEND that you watch FOX NEWS? I don’t think a single one of us should give MSNBC ANY rating numbers. Besides, Fox News does a great job, and Karl Rove’s analyses are quite fascinating since he knows the country so well.
INDIANA = 72 delegates
NO. CAROLINA = 115 delegates

AHA! UPPITY WOMAN stole my HOPE BONG a couple weeks ago.
I just stole it back. Pass it around, everyone! Give your Obamabot pals an extra hit!
Early results via Drudge for Indiana (hate to admit it, but he’s pretty fast at getting results up):
IN [2% PRECINCTS]
CLINTON 20,237 61%
OBAMA 12,935 39%
(It’s too hard to keep updating this so let’s all report results in the comments.)
(NORTH CAROLINA doesn’t sound good – perhaps double digits — I’ll never get it, but that’s just me. People voting against their own best interests, just to make themselves FEEL good.)
From exit info from A.P.:
The economy was on voters’ minds in Democratic primaries in Indiana and North Carolina. Two-thirds of Democratic primary voters in Indiana and nearly as many in North Carolina said the economy is the most important issue facing the nation. That’s more than have said so in 28 previous competitive Democratic primaries with exit polls this year.
Only about one in five in each state said Iraq was the top issue, and even fewer picked health care from a list of three issues.
Four in 10 Indiana Democratic voters said the current recession or economic slowdown has affected their family a great deal. Nearly as many said that in North Carolina.
CROSSOVER VOTING
Indiana’s Democratic primary was open to all voters. About one in five said they were independents and one in 10 identified themselves as Republican. North Carolina’s Democratic primary was open only to voters registered Democratic or unaffiliated; nearly one in five voters in that contest called themselves independents.
DEMOGRAPHICS:
The exit poll estimated blacks made up about a third of voters in the North Carolina Democratic primary, about one in seven in Indiana. More than half of voters in both states were women, which is typical for Democratic primaries.
