Countdown to the Nomination

Polls in Indiana and North Carolina close in just about an hour on this third and last of Super Tuesdays. The states have 187 delegates between them — Indiana 72, N.C. 115.

It seems necessary to be held to a prediction.

Obama will take N.C. with 53 percent; Clinton will get Indiana with 55. The pledged delegate count will favor Clinton by the slimmest of margins, 94-93. 

The night will leave Obama 181 delegates shy of the nomination, Clinton 321.

The ramifications to be discussed later.

DELEGATES TO SECURE NOMINATION
Obama 275
Clinton 414
