Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and his wife Michelle react to the crowd in Raleigh, N.C., on Tuesday after winning the North Carolina Democratic presidential primary.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Barack Obama swept to victory in the North Carolina primary Tuesday night and declared he was closing in on the Democratic presidential nomination. Hillary Rodham Clinton clung to a narrow Indiana lead, struggling to halt her rival’s march into history.
‘‘Tonight we stand less than 200 delegates away from securing the Democratic nomination for president of the United States,’’ Obama told a raucous rally in Raleigh, N.C. — and left no doubt he intended to claim the prize.
Clinton and Obama both said the former first lady would win Indiana. Yet thousands of votes were yet to be counted, principally in Lake County, not far from Obama’s home city of Chicago.
She told cheering supporters in Indianapolis, ‘‘Thanks to you, it’s full speed on to the White House,’’ signaling her determination to fight on in a campaign already waged across more than 15 months and nearly all 50 states.
