Look for a Split Decision in Today's Primaries

The expected results for today - a big win for Obama in North Carolina and a much narrower win for Clinton in Indiana (from Drudge):
Hillary Clinton's inner circle now fears a stinging defeat is likely in North Carolina.

"Look, we worked hard and gave it our best shot, but the demographics, well, they are what they are," a top campaign source explained to the DRUDGE REPORT as voting began Tuesday morning.

The campaign now believes a 15 point loss, or more, would not be surprising. Her team will work hard throughout the day to lower all expectations in North Carolina.

The campaign hopes media attention will stay fixated on the competition in Indiana, where 72 delegates are on the line, and Clinton internals show a victory!
The only way the race really gets a shake-up today is if one of the candidates wins both races. If it's Hillary, she gets a big boost in her efforts to win superdelegates and it becomes clear that Rev. Wright hurt Obama badly. If Obama wins both, the superdelegates will flee to Obama in increasing numbers and Hillary's options will be dramatically reduced. She'll have a hard time convincing anybody that she has a path to victory.

However, it looks like we'll have a split decision and the bloodletting will go on.

Good.
