CBNNews.com - EVANSVILLE, Ind. - Barack Obama is taking comfort in making the Pennsylvania primary less than a blowout for Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Already campaigning in Indiana, the Democratic presidential front-runner told supporters in Evansville on Tuesday night that he was able to narrow the gap in Pennsylvania, register a record number of voters and rally people of all backgrounds to his campaign.

"Now it's up to you Indiana," Obama said at a rally of his own in Evansville after Pennsylvania denied him a victory that might have made the nomination his.
After the bruising Pennsylvania contest, Obama said bickering and tit-for-tat politics obscured the great issues of the day - two wars, a recession and a planet in peril.
The Illinois senator told his Evansville rally that many people didn't think he could make it a close race in Pennsylvania, where Clinton once enjoyed large leads in polls.
Her victory, while comfortable, set up another critical test in two weeks time in Indiana. North Carolina votes the same day, and Obama already is the clear favorite in a Southern state with a large black population.
He criticized John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting, by name as offering more of the same policies advocated by President Bush. And he took aim at Clinton without mentioning her by name.
"We can calculate and poll-test our positions and tell everyone exactly what they want to hear," he said. "Or we can be the party that doesn't just focus on how to win, but why we should."
