Obama will win NC by a large amount, and IN by a small amount, and Hils will keep putting up attack vids using Dem contributions that were created by McCain supporters and staffers.

Poorly designed question. If you wanted to answer both prediction and certainty, you should have had a scale for certainty. Along with a possible third question of fed up.

States are not won. Delegates are won.

Is the Stranger ever going to get this through their head?

I'd like to believe that Obama can pull off Indiana, but the trouble is, all the purple dots are ABOVE all the orange dots... http://www.pollster.com/08-IN-Dem-Pres-Primary.php

Losing W-Virgina is pretty inevitable, and "alone", it'll have a bigger media impact.

Losing Kentucky won't be as bad because of the Oregon bolster.

Bottom line, still no end in sight.

The troublesome part about the "delegates vs. states" thing is that while Indiana is smaller than NC and Oregon, Obama's margins there are smaller.

And while Hillary's margins are small in Indiana, West Virginia and Kentucky are collectively sizable enough that her whopping poll numbers will likely net her a boatload of delegates.

Everything else is too small or too close to matter much.

I predict that Hillary Clinton will come in a close second, break both her ankles, and have to be euthanized by the DNC.

The massive momentum to Clinton in NC will allow her to eke out a win in NC, and she'll stomp him by 10-15 in IN. Obama will do the Dean yell, Clinton will get the nomination because superd's will switch, war with Iran will start in October, and McCain will win by 50-ish electoral votes.

I know what's going to happen tomorrow and it is this:

After work I will go to the bar, order a beer and a cheeseburger, and watch the Mariners game, because I'm so fucking bored of this primary fight and I'm saving my energy and attention for talking shit about McCain once we eventually get a nominee.

@3 wins, just as Obama will - again - win more delegates while Clinton continues to play chess in a poker game ...

I'm uncertain how, but Duncan Hunter is going to pull this thing out.

@14: Baseball at least has a man dressed up as a moose. Also, it's guaranteed to end in one day.

I confess I voted for what I hope happens, not what I fear will happen.

In Exciting News, there's an Election Watch party for any and all sides (Clinton, Obama, McCain (so Mr Poe can attend)) at Moe Bar on Tuesday starting at 5 pm ...
