The networks just got the exit polls. They are crunching the numbers. We'll have them here, please add the ones you hear in comments. Taggard Goddard says not to pay too much attention to them.
Fox reports the rural vote in Indiana is less than expected, and the vote in Indianapolis and Gary is high. On the other side, Republicans are turning out in bigger numbers than expected.
Obama is now saying Indiana will be close.
North Carolina is having a record turnout with 153,000 newly registered African American voters.
Lanny Davis says they don't expect to win North Carolina but it's closer than they thought. On Indiana, he says not saying. No predictions. The anchor tells Lanny he sounds reluctant (he does0 and asks if there is a reason. He says he's always trepidatious on primary days.
(BTD) If the Indiana exit polls are accurate, Indiana had a higher African American vote than anticipated which means Obama comes closer in Indiana. In North Carolina, African American turnout is somewhat lower than anticipated, which is favorable to Clinton.
Comments now closed, BTD has a new exit poll thread up.
