Equal Footing
Posted by jerelyn at 6:48 am in News, Presidential Race

Although in past primaries, Clinton or Obama has had the leg up, a slight advantage, in the Indiana primary, they begin on equal footing (or so people say).  In the two counties where over 25% of the vote comes from (Marion County and Lake County) there are large African-American populations, which is good for Obama.  These two counties house Indianapolis and Gary.  Not only that, but the north of Indiana considers themselves part of Chicago and have been watching Obama and his growth as politician.  I’m thinking to myself… What’s left for Clinton??  Well, even if she won all the other counties, she could still lose because of how big these two ones are.  Whatever this data seems to say, I think that it is never certain who will win a primary.  What you thought would happen could flip itself around, leaving you feeling as if you’ve been hit by a 50 ton truck.  For example, recently I came in second place for a writing competition, The Dupont Challenge. I had no expectations that I wuold win anything and lo and behold… I won second place!!  If that will happen with this primary, I have no idea.  All I have to say is let the best person win.
