Bernie Sanders upset Hillary Clinton in Indiana's Democratic primary Tuesday night, giving his flagging campaign another reason to carry on to Philadelphia even though he has virtually no chance of overtaking Clinton for the nomination.
With more than three-quarters of precincts reporting, Sanders led 53 percent to 47 percent.
Less than a half hour after results began pouring in, Sanders rallied supporters in Louisville, Kentucky, where voters will head to the polls on May 17.

WNU Editor: I admit that I did not expect U.S. Sanders to last this long in this primary race. But he has won another big victory, and he has certainly defied the sceptics. And while I still do not expect him to win the nomination .... the "super delegates" are going to make sure about that .... it makes one wonder on how unified is the Democrat Party, and can Hillary Clinton energize the Democrat base in the same manner as President Obama did when he ran for President.
