So right now I'm watching Hillary Clinton give an acceptance speech for winning Indiana.  The problem is there are two counties that haven't reported their results yet.  They make up more than 8% of the vote, the bigger of the two counties an expected Obama stronghold.  Her margin of victory so far is about 4%.  Obama wouldn't need that much to come even or possibly win the popular vote.

This large county in question is Lake County, which borders Chicago in Illinois.  It's a county with over 11,000 absentee ballots and the election officials have decided not to reveal the results until the count the absentee votes.  

Isn't a victory speech a little premature?  Especially considering Obama's margin of victory in North Carolina is roughly 14% in a state with much more votes and delegate.

Maybe I'll post something later.
