Barack Obama coupled a solid, double-digit win in North Carolina with a narrow defeat in Indiana to stall the momentum Hillary Clinton showed in the 11 weeks since Obama’s last significant win. “We now know who the Democratic nominee is going to be,” NBC’s Tim Russert declared shortly after midnight, as the […]
