Despite the Clinton News Network’s constant focus, as per the Clintons’ campaign spin, on Indiana there are actually two state primaries today. Most “analysts” are predicting a narrow win for the Clintons in Indiana and a slightly larger win for Obama in North Carolina. If these educated guesses are correct then Obama’s pledge delegate lead over the Clintons will increase today and the Dem nomination race will be over. The math will be obvious – even for Rah Rah Hillary supporter Wolf Blitzer.
North Carolina has 115 pledge delegates up for grabs compared to Indiana’s 72 pledge delegates. If the Clintons win Indiana by 10% and Obama wins NC by 10% he gets MORE delegates today then the Clintons who fall further behind. This will make it even more unlikely that Hillary can catch up mathematically. AND it will leave Hillary’s Big Momentum argument in the gutter.
It’s over for Hillary today Wolf. Get over it.
