First Glance At The Exits: Democratic Party Cracking Up?  —  Here's what jumps out at me from the first wave of exit polls that have been released to the Edison-Mitsofky consortium:  —  Forget the horse race numbers for a moment: if the surveys are accurate, the polarization within the Democratic Party has reached critical levels.

News Analysis: Options Dwindling for Clinton  —  In this case, a split was not a draw.  —  In what early returns suggested would be a win for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton in Indiana but a loss for her in North Carolina, Tuesday's results did not fundamentally improve her chances of securing the Democratic presidential nomination.

Exit Polls: Limbaugh Effect Seems To Rear Its Head  —  Did Rush Limbaugh actually impact the Democratic primary?  —  The loud-mouthed radio talk show host has been encouraging Republicans to vote for Sen. Hillary Clinton to continue the “chaos” in the Democratic race.

Will Bunch / Philly.com:
Team Hillary warns of Obama “October surprise”  —  The early results are suggesting a healthy win for Barack Obama in North Carolina and a much narrower win, maybe 52-48 or so, for Hillary Clinton in Indiana.  That won't end her campaign — nuclear obliteration wouldn't do that at this point but it makes Clinton's mission even harder.

Does Hillary Know It's Over?  —  Hillary began her (somewhat premature) Indiana “victory” speech on an up note, throwing an old Obama quote about how Indiana would be a PA/NC/IN tiebreaker back in his face.  But since then she's sounded a little dispirited to me.

Ben Smith / Ben Smith's Blogs:
Hillary, muted  —  I've been out on the road with Clinton for the past few days, during which she was perhaps the sharpest she's been in her political career.  Forceful, clear, connecting intensely with her crowds, utterly at ease with her message.  —  Tonight, that energy has really, strikingly vanished.
David Neiwert / Firedoglake:
Primary Late Night: Did We Hear Hillary Concede Tonight?  —  Indiana (88% reporting):  —  North Carolina (97% reporting):  —  I know, I know.  Hillary's victory speech in Indiana tonight was not a concession speech.  She vowed to keep fighting on.  Florida and Michigan and all that.
