Media is getting wearisome? Headline: "Indiana & N. C. primaries could break deadlock" Is this true?

Question

N.C. has 134 delegates

Indiana has 84 delegates

5-5-08 Pledged delgates: Obama 1743 Clinton 1606

Obama leads by 137 delegates. If Clinton absolutely crushes Obama, Pennsylvania-style, in both states (which she won't) and wins by ten percent in both N.C and IN, then she will pick up what? Twenty or thirty more delegates so that she is only a hundred delegates behind him instead of a hundred and thirty delegates behind? SO WHAT!! Who cares??? What difference do the IN and NC primaries make??? Looks like much ado about nothing to me.

It reminds me of the sportscasters during the Superbowl who try to keep people watching in the third and fourth quarters (because the advertisers paid alot of money for ads in the second half) even though one team is ahead by three touchdowns and everybody knows who is going to win.

Barack Obama is obviously going to be the Democratic nominee

Answer 1

That looks to be true.  It is possible all the superdelegates could run away from Obama, but Hillary's negative campaigning is such a turn off!    John Edwards might be able to make a difference too, but I doubt he likes Hillary Clinton.
