After two weeks of non-stop campaigning in North Carolina and Indiana, Tuesday was perhaps a game changer in the protracted race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Obama handily beat Clinton in the North Carolina primary. Obamas decisive victory in the southeastern state moves him a step closer to securing the Democratic presidential nomination. SOUNDBITE: Barack Obama, presidential candidate, saying (English): "You know there are those who were saying that North Carolina would be a game changer in this election. But today what North Carolina decided that the only game that needs changing is the one in Washington, D.C." Obama won over 9 out of every ten African-American voters in North Carolina-- who made up more than a third of the electorate. In the mid-section of the country, Clinton pulled off a narrow victory in Indiana -- the state adjacent to Obamas home state of Illinois-- thanks in large part to strong support from white, middle-class voters. SOUNDBITE: Hillary Clinton, presidential candidate, saying (English): "Tonight weve come from behind, weve broken the tie and thanks to you, its full-speed ahead onto the White House." Despite Clintons win in Indiana, Obama continues to lead in the popular vote and the number of pledged delegates. Tuesdays results may put intense pressure on Hillary Clinton to soon end her quest for the Democratic nomination. With just six contests remaining, the likelihood of stopping Obamas march to the nomination appears very remote. Jon Decker, Reuters.
