Thank you, Tar Heels

Nine days to go. Nine. Niiiiieeeeene. Single digits, baby.

Looks like my man Barack Obama laid the smack down in North Carolina, a decisive victory.

Indiana is apparently still too close to call, some three hours after polls closed there (or is it two? I can’t tell because they, like Queensland, don’t acknowledge Daylight Saving Time), although at this time Clinton holds a razor-thin lead in the Hoosier State.

Hillary is addressing supporters in Indianapolis at the moment, but I can’t be bothered to go over to the television on the wall to watch. She’s probably talking about how North Carolina isn’t one of the “states that matter” or some such patronising (elitist?) bullshit.

I was hoping it was a concession speech—not just for Indiana, but for the whole damn thing. It’s time to bow out, Hillary. (Actually, it was time after Super Tuesday, but whatever.)

It’s time for this to be over.

UPDATE: It looks like there is one county holding out in the Indiana race, and it’s Lake County. That’s where Gary is, and if you know Indiana, Gary is within spitting distance of Chicago. It’s also heavily African-American. Lake County usually waits until absentee ballots are cast, which is why we’re still waiting. CNN is reporting Hillary over Obama 51-49, with 91% reporting. Gary just might put Obama over the top there.
