It was close, but Barack Obama has added Indiana to the list of states taken from the GOP this year:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Another state that hasn’t voted for a Democrat for president in quite a while has done so this time.
By a narrow margin, Barack Obama is the winner in Indiana. The state’s polls were among the first to close, but the outcome wasn’t clear until long after Obama’s victory speech.
The last time Indiana voted for a Democrat for president was when Lyndon Johnson was elected in 1964.
That puts Obama’s Electoral College lead at 349-162.
Two states remain too close to call this morning, though. In North Carolina, Obama has a slim lead of about 11,000 votes and John McCain has a lead of about 6,000 votes in Missouri
One or both of these may be headed to recounts.
