So What Happens If Clinton Wins On Tuesday?

Hmmm? If Obama doesn't take both states or at least North Carolina, there is talk of a super delegate switch. For all the doubters out there, that is how it could happen. 150 delegates sit between Obama and Clinton with a little more than 250 Supers on both sides. So if Clinton takes Indiana and keeps Carolina to single digits a major defection could happen....

    If Hillary takes Indiana, which it looks at this time as if she will, and takes NC, which is back and forth on the latest poll numbers (one minute, she's up, next Obama is), I predict that delegates and superdelegates will decide that she is more electable than Obama. He has had a really hard time taking the big states. Heck, if she just takes Indiana it's going to give the delegates pause. Whatever happens, it certainly has been the most interesting and exciting political season I've ever seen...and it's just between the Dems at this point!

    Polls show both delegates out in front of McCain. If Hill takes Indiana and keeps it close in Carolina, tide will turn. Don't underestimate just how damaging this Wright stuff has been and how embarrassed it is making alot of these high profile dems look.

    If they split the two, with Obama winning NC, then there won't be much super movement. If Obama wins both, the supers will really come out of the woodwork in support of him and the party leadership might step in. If Hillary wins both, it literally is a whole new ballgame. She will pick up supers who have not committed, but it wouldn't change as drastically as if Obama wins both--but it would make for a crazy 4 weeks.

    Thats fair. However Tim Russert said today that the Supers are already grumbling about Obama's issues this week. He needs a big win and it doesn't look in the cards.
