Prediction for tomorrow

Jack Cafferty has the following to say about the importance of tomorrow's contests:

If Obama can deliver a pair of wins, it would be a huge psychological boost for his campaign and could bring him one step closer to winning the nomination. If Clinton wins both, she'll still be behind but will think she's won the nomination.


Of course, the most likely scenario is that Obama wins North Carolina and Clinton wins Indiana, not just because that's what the polls generally indicate, but because that's the result most likely to result in the campaign continuing to be portrayed as a close horse-race with neither candidate having enough momentum to break away, and guaranteeing that the seemingly endless Democratic primary campaign continues on it's downward, fratricidal slide for at least several more weeks.

We're just lucky that way.
