| Indiana, North Carolina Primary Results |
| 2008-05-07 00:25:35 |
With Hillary Clinton winning the last three big contests in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Texas (which actually gave Obama a delegate win), tonight's races in Carolina">North Carolina and Indiana are crucial for both campaigns. For Clinton, tonight offers the largest remaining delegate prize and the best opportunity for her to make up ground on her rival, while a loss in either state pushes the nomination further out of reach. For Obama, they provide an opportunity to end this race, while a split decision moves him closer to the 2,025 delegates he needs to clinch the nomination.As always, we'll be updating this post as we go tonight, so be sure to refresh your browser.

Just seven votes separated Barack Obama from Hillary Clinton in this weekend's caucuses, splitting four delegates between the two camps--a microcosm of the race that has divided the Democratic Party.Today, all eyes turn to Indiana and Carolina">North Carolina--two states that hold the largest delegate prize remaining on the calendar.

Check out our entire video library at Political Realm TV.Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton continue to spar before the crucial contests in Indiana and North Carolina today. The two Democrats have been duking it out on the air over a proposed gas tax holiday, which Clinton (and McCain) supports and Obama opposes. Each has accused the other of going negative, though neither campaign has been especially hard-hitting on the issue. Hillary ClintonClinton asks "What's happened to Barack Obama?" in her latest ad, playing the victim in the back-and-forth over the gas tax holiday. For the record, it was Clinton who struck first on the gas tax issue, at least in television advertising. With all the ads flooding the airwaves on the issue in last week, voters aren't...

Check out our entire video library at Political Realm TV.John McCainThe Democratic Party has released its second ad, "100," which will air on national cable, attacking John McCain. The focus of the ad is McCain's comments last year that he would be willing to keep American troops in Iraq 100 years or more. While the McCain campaign has gotten Obama to back off on the issue, the national party is seeking to keep it front and center. McCain has argued that he was not referring to active combat missions 100 years from now, more like a residual peacekeeping force similar to the forces we have in South Korea. The ad, however, doesn't allow for any nuance, including images of violence, while referencing the cost in dollars and lives. The ad closes with: "If all he offers is more of the same...

The ad attempts to connect that extremism to the two leading Democratic gubernatorial candidates, Bev Perdue and Richard Moore, both of whom support Obama. The connection is rather weak, but expect more ads like this down the road. The ad has drawn a quick rebuke from the national Republican Party as well as Republican nominee John McCain. The NC GOP, however, is an independent body, so the decision to run the ad is theirs.Perdue recently pledged to run a positive-only advertising campaign. In her latest ad,...

Check out our video library at Political Realm TV.Barack ObamaWith Pennsylvania voters heading to the polls on Tuesday, the Obama campaign began its last minute advertising push this weekend. The campaign released two new ads across the state, where they have been vastly out-spending rival Hillary Clinton. "Reason" touts the endorsements Obama has received from major newspapers across the state."Afford" focuses on health care and is perhaps the campaign's first negative ad of the cycle (though in the grand scheme of negative ads it's fairly mild). The ad attacks Clinton's plan because it "forces everyone to buy insurance even if you can't afford it." The ad goes on to push Obama's own plan, which "reduces costs more than Hillary's" plan.Gubernatorial Watch: IndianaRepublican incumbent M...

Check out our video library at Political Realm TV.Hillary ClintonThe Clinton campaign has released two new ads going after Barack Obama in the days leading up to the Pennsylvania primary. "Answer" is a response to an Obama ad that began airing this past weekend. The ad suggests Clinton's plan is affordable, while Obama's leaves people without coverage. The ad also ties into ABC's recent debate, saying, "He [Barack Obama] couldn't answer tough questions," and "There are more and more questions about Barack Obama. Instead of attacking, maybe he should answer them." That language is the toughest we've seen yet in a Clinton ad--even more so than the 3 AM attack ads, which relied largely on symbolism. With just a few days left, both campaigns have opted to go negative in Pennsylvania. It w...

The ad points out that while he doesn't accept money from the oil companies, that would be against the law, he has accepted thousands from oil employees (something Clinton has done as well).
