115 delegates were at stake in North Carolina and 72 in Indiana.
(INDIANAPOLIS ) - Barack Obama scored a blow-out win in North Carolina while Hillary Clinton clung to a narrow victory in Indiana last night - delivering a huge blow to Clinton's White House hopes and intensifying a mad-dash for undecided superdelegates.
Obama cruised to a 58 percent to 42 percent win last night in North Carolina, due to the 91 percent support among blacks. In Indiana, Clinton barely survived Obama, 51 percent to 49 percent, but she vowed to press on in her quest for the nomination. Clinton trails Obama 1,815 to 1,672 in total delegates, according to The Associated Press.
CNN reported this morning that a campaign aide to Hillary Clinton said that Clinton loaned herself $6.4 million in the past month to keep her campaign going.
Democratic primary voters go to the polls next Tuesday in West Virginia. Then Kentucky and Oregon vote on May 20, Puerto Rico on June 1, and in Montana and South Dakota on June 3.
