Clinton takes Indiana by a ???razor??? and Obama wins North Carolina by a huge margin. Nevertheless, Kentucky, Montana and West Virginia are still to come.
The Democratic race for nomination is still very much alive ??? and most likely to be decided by superdelegates
If you???re tired of waiting around for those super delegates to make a decision already, go to LobbyDelegates.com and push them to support Clinton or Obama
If you haven't done so yet, please write a message to each of your state's superdelegates at http://www.lobbydelegates.com
Obama Supporters:
Sending a note to current Obama supporters lets them know it's appreciated, sending a note to current Clinton supporters can hopefully sway them to change their vote to Obama, and sending a note to the uncommitted folks will hopefully sway them to vote for Obama. It's that easy...
Clinton Supporters too ???. !
It takes a moment, but what's a few minutes now worth to get Clinton in office?! Those are really worth !

But my take on this question isn't important. So I asked someone whose judgment on it is. Roy Romer is a former governor of Colorado and a former chairman of the Democratic Party. He is also an uncommitted superdelegate to the Democratic National Convention.
"Look at his life," Romer told me. "He graduated at the top from Harvard, then went to the South Side of Chicago to work with the poor. That's about as unelite as you can be."
"People will look at the totality of the candidate, and he'll do fine."
But how about all those gun owners and churchgoers who may now desert the Democrats, just as they, according to Hillary at last Sunday's Compassion Forum, deserted elitists Al Gore in 2000 and John Kerry in 2004?
Well, it turns out that working-class Americans have not left the Democratic Party, except in the South, where practically everyone except the black community has turned Republican. In the north, as Princeton political scientist Larry M. Bartels establishes in an important new book, "Unequal Democracy," working-class voters have actually been trending Democratic in recent elections, which helps explain why longtime bellwether states like Illinois and Pennsylvania have been more reliably blue. According to Bartels, more affluent voters are the ones who have been swayed by social issues like abortion and guns. Working-class voters, he writes, are still motivated by economics.
By contrast, Obama was awkwardly echoing the analysis of Thomas Frank in his 2004 best seller "What's the Matter With Kansas?" Frank argued that working-class Kansans were essentially being fooled by conservative appeals on social issues into voting against their economic self-interest. If it turns out that Bartels is right and Frank is wrong, then Obama will have ironically been saved by the falsity of his own cultural argument.
