Obama says he feels good about primaries
 
GREENWOOD, Indiana (AP) - Barack Obama says he feels good about primaries today in North Carolina and Indiana, but thinks it's
going to be close.
 
Obama began today by dropping in on a family restaurant in the Indianapolis suburb of Greenwood, Indiana. Sitting at the counter and having an omelet, Obama chatted with patrons, telling them that he's seeing a lot of enthusiasm.
 
Hillary Rodham Clinton told a late night rally in Evansville the issue is "jobs, jobs, jobs."
 
There is little if any expectation that today's primaries will settle the race between Obama and Clinton, as both candidates have predicted they'll still be campaigning in June.
 
Altogether, 187 delegates are at stake in the two states.
 
Minor problems reported in Indiana 
 
Officials in Indiana are reporting a few minor problems as voters turn out to choose between Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton in the drawn-out Democratic race.
 
One clerk says Democratic ballots had not been delivered to two Indianapolis locations, but voters did have the option of using touch-screen machines at both sites.
 
Two polling locations did not open on time because inspectors were late in arriving. Both of them are open now.
 
Many voters already were in line when polls opened this morning, and officials are expecting heavy turnout throughout the day.
 
A Democratic ward chairman in Indianapolis says his polling station could see a 55 percent turnout, compared with to the 8 to 10 percent turnout that is typical for the primary.
