Only in Indiana

Senator Evan Bayh opened for Hillary Clinton as he had all day long, even at a stop in Merrillville, earlier in the day. So it was no small irony that it was Lake County that was a burr in her saddle at the end of the evening. At 10:30 p.m., BBC World News America was reporting that Lake County had yet to report its primary election results, taking the spotlight off of Hillary Clinton for critical spin doctoring hours leaving her to proclaim her Chicagoan bonifieds ... in Indianapolis. At 10:45 p.m., CNN was reporting that Indiana was still up for grabs with 85 percent of the delegates counted, the results showing a 52 to 48 percent Clinton / Obama split. For one night, Indiana mattered to the presidential race. And Bayh hadn't exactly delivered.

BTW: The Gentleman from Arizona achieved a clear victory in Indiana. Not that it mattered.
