— -- It was a photo finish seen more often on the last lap on the Indianapolis 500 than in a presidential primary.

Hillary Clinton's campaign had just about run out of gas and a dual defeat on May 6, 2008, would have almost certainly increased the calls for her to pull into the pit and cede the race to Barack Obama.

But Clinton won -- by only 14,192 votes in over 1 million cast.

Now Obama returns to Indiana with hopes of snatching the state that hasn't vote for a Democratic presidential contender since supporting President Lyndon B. Johnson over Republican Barry Goldwater in 1964.
