No surprises in Tuesday night's primaries
By: Steve Adcock | Submitted on: 05/06/08EDITORIAL - As the results role in during Tuesday night's primaries in North Carolina and Indiana, I am consumed only by thoughts of how predictable the results turned out to be.
Barack Obama handily took the state of North Carolina with most media outlets officially calling the race in his favor fairly early on. North Carolina, a southern state, offers a large population of black voters to the voting process, where Obama took 9 out of 10 of their votes. But do not let that fool you, because apparently, Obama's success among black voters has nothing to do with his race – so says the Illinois senator.
Hillary Clinton took the state of Indiana, a mid western state where the former first lady easily swept up the majority of the white vote. At the end of the day, no surprise; no change.
Obama's win in North Carolina will give him the larger share of the state's 115 delegates, and Clinton's victory in Indiana will send the larger share of that state's 72 delegates her way. Obama will increase his lead slightly.
2,025 delegates are needed to officially clinch the nomination for the Democratic Party. However, since it is not likely that either candidate will reach that amount, the super delegates will probably throw the victory torch to one of the two vying senators.
