Heading into the North Carolina and Indiana primaries, the Clinton camp has to be wondering whether tomorrow's two-state contest is anything but an exercise in futility. Were Clinton and Obama to split the 187 delegates at stake, Clinton would then need 85 percent of all remaining pledged delegates to catch Obama. In other words, Clinton needs big wins in both North Carolina and Indiana if she hopes to seriously contest the nomination.
It is more likely, however, that Obama will expand his delegate lead tomorrow. According the latest polls, Obama commands a 7 point lead in North Carolina -- the most delegate rich contest left -- and is nipping on Clinton's heels in Indiana.
