The numbers are in.
Despite a double-digit loss in one contest, Hillary Clinton vows to fight all the way to the White House.
She called it "a game changer."
He called it "a tiebreaker."
The morning after the May 6 primaries, the saga continues.
The party stands divided by will versus can.
"Not too long ago my opponent made a prediction," stated Clinton.
"I would win Pennsylvania , he would win North Carolina and Indiana would be the tie breaker. Tonight we've come from behind and broken the tie and thanks to you its full speed on to the White House."
"You know, some were saying that North Carolina would be a game-changer in this election," Obama said.
"But today, what North Carolina decided is that the only game that needs changing is the one in Washington, D.C."
With nearly unanimous support among African-Americans, who made up one in three voters, the Tarheels made Barack Obama victorious with 56 percent of the vote.
Race also entered the race in Indiana, where exit polls suggest Clinton beat Obama among the highly-coveted white working class voters 65-34 percent, giving the former First Lady a two percent win in Indiana.
"I am running to be the President of all of America, North, South, East and West, and everywhere in between," exclaimed Clinton.
"That's why it is so important that we count the votes of Florida and Michigan."
"I didn't get into this race to see if I can avoid this kind of politics, but I am running for President because this is the time to end it," declared Obama.
While West Virginia is next, Clinton is expected to meet with her superdelegates and campaign advisors today to decide where to go from here.
ABC News says the delegate count is in Obama's favor.
The Illinois Senator has 1,843 to Senator Clinton's 1,679.
