Here’s something you don’t often hear on national television:

“Indiana is too close to call.”

That was Brit Hume on Fox News at around 7:30 p.m. That’s 90 minutes after polls were closed in most of the Hoosier state and 30 minutes after they were closed in the Gary and Evansville areas of western Indiana, where the clocks are set on Central time.

Generally, Indiana’s the first state called in a presidential race, and always for the Republican. Of course, that’s for the general election.

This spring, what’s too close to call today is whether New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton or Illinois Sen. Barack Obama will win the Democratic nod in the Hoosier state.

Clinton is leading Obama now with a pretty safae margin, but Fox News just reported that no precincts from Lake County are in yet. Who knows how that will pan out, where residents are encouraged to vote early and often, even if you’re dead.

Thanks for reading my blog, and thanks for logging on to TribTown.com.
