Voters turn out for what could be Democrats' final round

Well, here we are again.

"It would be a game changer if Clinton wins both North Carolina and Indiana by double-digit margins," said Bill Schneider, CNN senior political correspondent. "That would signal to the superdelegates that Democratic voters are having serious doubts about Obama. She needs big victories because it's so late in the game."

In all, only 404 pledged delegates remain to be chosen, and Tuesday's total of 187 makes it the biggest single primary day left. Clinton would need to win 70 percent of the remaining pledged delegates to catch up with Obama.

"That's very unlikely," Schneider said. "She stands a better chance of catching up in the total popular vote."

With neither candidate expected to win the 2,025 delegates needed to clinch the Democratic nomination by June 3, the end of the primary season, the final decision will most likely fall to the 796 so-called superdelegates: Democratic governors, members of Congress and party officials.

 

Today's not going to change anything, other then moving the bar further down the line.

Obama has 1745 to Clinton's 1602.  With Hillary needing such a massive landslide, it simply is becoming more and more mathematically impossible for her to win.  If Obama was caught with a dead hooker or a live boy, she MIGHT have a chance to win.  Simply put, don't expect much from today, even if Obama is leading by double digits.
