Indiana polls close in an hour, N.C. a half hour later. Ignore the exit polls.
And Josh Marshall at TPM picks up on a little noticed trend. The more ridiculous Hillary gets, the better she seems to do.
This guy gets it best:
The day begins with the Clinton campaign “leaking” something to the Drudge Report to set expectations for the day. That then gets repeated on political blogs and cable news, where Clinton surrogate Terry McAuliffe elaborates. Today’s “expectation”: That the Clinton campaign expects a “15 point” defeat in North Carolina. Clinton’s yapping puppies in the news media repeat the manufactured expectation all day long, in which the bar is supposedly now that if Clinton comes within 15 points in that state that she has somehow “won” with a 14 point (or 6 point) defeat.
