Before yesterday's primaries in Indiana and North Carolina, it was generally accepted that HC had to win convincingly in Indiana and keep it close in North Carolina. Instead, Clinton barely won in Indiana and Obama won convincingly in NC. According to the latest count, Obama leads the delegate count 1840 to 1685. With 487 delegates (including 270 superdelegates) up for grabs, I would say that it would take a statistical miracle for Clinton to make up for the 155 delegate deficit. Clinton will have to edge Obama out by 341 to 146. To make matters worse for Clinton, Oregon (the largest remaining primary) is another state that seems to favor Obama by a significant margin.

I think it is time for the superdelegates to put their foot down collectively. Lights out!
