Clinton Campaign Juggles North Carolina, Indiana
It's all nail-biting for Hillary Clinton in North Carolina today. Her staff is feeling pinched by their own prediction of a 15 point defeat there in favor of Obama.
Her one spot of optimism is the Indiana primary. There are 72 delegates up for grabs in the Hoosier state and staffers feel optimistically that she can take roll over Obama there by a full 10 points.
Currently, Clinton owns 1,586 delegates and Obama has 1,719 in his camp. The magic number needed to win is 2,025. This turns up the heat on the super delegates, some of whom are in a sweat, knowing that their political future might depend on which way they sway.
It's likely that Rush Limbaugh's CHAOS operatives will give her a boost, as will her own revelation to George Stephanopoulos, speaking of Rush, "He's always had a crush on me." Talk about trying to woo conservatives!
