Obama Wins North Carolina Primary, Clinton wins Indiana

There were no big surprises coming out of yesterday’s Democratic primaries, held in North Carolina and Indiana. Barack Obama won North Carolina easily (by 14 percentage points), and Hillary Clinton just barely won Indiana. Many have attributed Hillary’s slight victory in Indiana to older voters who have been loyal to her, and Obama gaining votes from lower class white voters who have traditionally voted Clinton.
Obama’s clear victory in North Carolina, besides raising his delegate and popular vote count, also proved that the Rev. Wright drama hasn’t impacted his campaign as many thought it would.

According to a radio report on NPR yesterday, Latinos make up about five percent of the total population in Indiana. According to the same radio report, most of these Latinos are Mexican and Puerto Ricans.
In 2003, Latinos represented 4% of the population in Indiana (over 240,000). The three counties with the largest Latino population are Lake (61,400), Marion (41,400), and Elkhart (20,200).
Indiana ranks 21st among states for the size of its Latino population.
It is projected that the growth of the Latino population will increase by more than 15% between 2005 and 2015 and by more than 20% between 2015 and 2025.
