Obama's victory in North Carolina is the death knell for Hillary Clinton's campaign.
She needed to win on HIS territory in order to convince the superdelegates that he was too weak to be the nominee.
She will probably win Indiana, but it will not be enough.
The upset that she was hoping for didn't happen.
It's over.

1. Yup. Obama wins a wash. Clinton had to affirmatively hurt Obama-
and apparently was far from it.


HUGE, HUGE WIN IN NC.

13. Obama districts haven't come in on Indiana yet and he has her down
to 12%. was eighteen. Could be an interesting contest, no? :)

10. exactly. status quo shows obama hasn't been weakened enough for clinton to
slow obama's superdelegate momentum.

16. Yes, this is it.
There are only six contests remaining, which between them have only 200 or so delegates to apportion. There's simply not enough left on the table for Clinton to get close to Obama.

North Carolina was her last chance to shake things up. She needed to beat him on his home turf -- and she failed badly. It's over.

Now let's see if enough superdelegates have the courage to acknowledge this.
