Predicting IN & NC

In the possible last (in)significant primary season edition of "prediction folly," we're gonna go out with a bang. After the jump, we have an uber-big prediction. It's mostly folly, but you won't know until it doesn't happen!


Today, the states of Indiana and North Carolina gather to cast their primary votes in the Democrat contest. For Hoosiers, the polls close at 7pm EST and for Tar Heelers they close at 7:30pm EST.


The polls are literally no help. They range from mega-leads for Barack Obama in both states, to Hillary Clinton narrowly pulling it out in either. Campaigns literally have a buffet of numbers to pick for backing of their particular arguments.


So it's up to the voters...those brave souls inside the voting booths to make their choice!

My uber foolish prediction...today/tonight is a total game changer.


It's over for Barack Obama.


With a significant win in Indiana and a narrow loss or win in North Carolina, Hillary Clinton will carry the day proving that Obama's electability issues are real and his inability to connect with the average-Joe is crippling.


Obama's fall will be cushioned by the media and other elites who lament their idol's fall from the heavens, but the twin primary today will be the beginning of his end.


Now for all readers and commenters...feel free to fire back!
