Early call

And why not, because that’s what we’ll all be doing later tonight anyway.

Most prognosticators see a Hillary win in Indiana tonight - 5 points or so, probably - but Drudge is reporting that some on her staff expect a “stinging” defeat in North Carolina - a loss by 15 points or more.

If this bears out, dunno how it changes the dynamic if at all. Hillary will still claim Obama can’t win the industrial heartland type states, Obama can claim Hillary just doesn’t resonate in the south, which the GOP has been taking in recent years. NC has 112 delegates, Indiana 72 - so Obama is likely to come out of the day with an even greater lead in terms of the delegate count, though the math simply won’t be changed that much. And that means the long stalemate seems likely to continue.
