[0:00] late into the night getting toward the

[0:02] morning and right now we're watching

[0:04] what's happening in Indiana. A very very

[0:07] dramatic race. Uh I'm Wolf Blitzer at

[0:10] the CNN election center. Right now North

[0:12] Carolina the it's over with Barack Obama

[0:15] has clearly won very decisively, very

[0:18] impressively in North Carolina. 100% of

[0:20] the precincts have now reported he has

[0:22] 56%. Uh Hillary Clinton's 42%. An

[0:26] impressive win in North Carolina. But in

[0:28] Indiana right now, 95% of the precincts

[0:31] have reported she is clinging to a

[0:34] slight lead, 51% to 49%. If we zoom in

[0:38] on the actual numbers as they stand

[0:40] right now, we can show you how tight

[0:42] this race is. 66,497

[0:45] for Hillary Clinton, 589,888

[1:06] of the precincts in Lake County have

[1:08] reported. Uh and we don't know what the

[1:10] outcome is going to be. Theoretically,

[1:12] this could still go either way even

[1:14] though she still has that slight lead.

[1:17] It may be a situation, maybe a situation

[1:20] where we won't know for some time who is

[1:22] the winner in Indiana. Although, as I

[1:24] say, she maintains a very slight lead. I

[1:27] want to walk over to CNN's John King

[1:29] who's watching this contest for us. Uh,

[1:31] and what a dramatic story it's been in

[1:34] Indiana now for the past several hours.

[1:36] Uh, and as we look at Lake County, he

[1:38] has a lead there. Uh, but it's still

[1:40] there's still a l
