North Carolina and Indiana total vote: 1.5 million for Obama; 1.3 million for Clinton

In yesterday’s Democratic presidential primaries in North Carolina and Indiana, Barack Obama won 53.8 percent of the total votes.

Obama collected 1,514,017 votes, and Hillary Clinton had 1,299,731 votes. Again, this is both states added together. It looks to me like a pretty big Obama victory overall.

Candidate … North Carolina … Indiana

     Obama … 890,723 …   623,294

     Clinton … 657,997 …   641,734

TOTALS ... 1,514,017 … 1,299,731 … TOGETHER: 2,813,748

So far, Obama has 1,848 delegates (both elected delegates and the unelected party-boss superdelegates). Clinton has 1,693 delegates. To win the Democratic nomination, one candidate needs at least 2,025 delegates.

And so it goes.
