According to the Indiana Secretary of State, the official totals were:
Hillary Clinton: 637,814 50.4%
Barack Obama: 626,642 49.6%
The difference: 11,152 less than 1 %
This difference, was almost surely caused by Rush Limbaugh and operation Chaos (who at least according to ABC made up 7% of Clinton's voting base.) So I think Obama's claim that Rush won it for Hillary is accurate.
It's impossible to really separate Rush's juvenile prank from the real data and basing estimates of November wins on wins amongst just democrats now is a little sketchy. You've gotta wonder what this means for Hillary's numbers though, particularly her negative which tends to hover right around the upper 40s.
