Both sides scramble to claim victory in Tuesday's match-ups:

Obama's David Axelrod: Clinton's team is "going to have a lot to think about."

Clinton's Mo Elleithee: “We're pumped. Senator Obama called this the tie-breaker, and it's looking very strong for us. We started way behind in both states and made up significant ground tonight. Momentum is clearly on our side, and we're going to take that momentum to West Virginia, Kentucky, and the remaining states.”

Clinton's Jay Carson: “We have won the state that Sen. Obama said was a tie-breaker and we've won the swing voters Democrats need to win in a general and it's on to the May contests and beyond.”
