Union might be the difference.  Not many people there, but every vote counts, especially in this case.  If Obama takes 75% of Lake, he's probably going to win it.

My father just emailed.  Says he's got O needing 59% (I assume that's before Lake County based on when he sent it).  Thinks he'll get it.  We'll find out soon.

Doing a quick check on the CNN page:

Counties left to report

Hancock   3% left 60/40 Obama
Hamiliton 1% left 61/39 O
Marion  2% left 67/33 O
Monroe 33% left 66/34 O
Union 100% -----Should go Clinton
Lake 72% left  75/25 Obama

Damn.  He may pull it out.

Only 7,000 people live in Union.  This may well come down to thousands, or even hundreds, of votes, so it could matter.  But that's a pretty small county.  If there are 2,000 Dems there, I'll be amazed.

Add another 1,000 for GOP cross-over voters just to be pessimistic and give Clinton 3,000 votes for 1,000 Obama for a net gain of 2,000.  

That, I guess, would be the maximum.

Bet'cha it was the high percentage of voter turn-out in Gary that blew the models away.

Nah, it couldn't have simply been Gary that broke the models, because we didn't have numbers from Gary when it started turning in Obama's favor.  He seems to have done much better than expected in rural areas.  Some of them were the standard C 70-30 O, but others came in at more like 53-47.
