Preliminary Delegate Results from NC, IN Primaries

Well, it's finally official.

Obama wins North Carolina by 14 points.

Clinton wins Indiana by 2 points.

What does that mean for pledged delegates?

Obama is expected to net between 16 and 18 pledged delegates in North Carolina.

Clinton is expected to net between 4 and 8 pledged delegates in Indiana.

Best case scenario for Obama shows a net gain of 14 pledged delegates (94-80) and the best case scenario for Clinton shows a net loss of 8 pledged delegates (83-91).

It appears that Senator Obama will have recouped the delegates he lost in Pennsylvania, extending his pledged delegate lead from 1492-1338 (154 pledged delegate margin) to approximately 1586-1418 (172 pledged delegate margin).

More in the morning when delegate totals become official.
