Although the final arbiter of truth (Fox News) has yet to call the race in Indiana, it seems all but certain that Clinton's current lead will hold and the Democratic primary will continue through June 3.

Obama outperformed the polls (although not necessarily the expectations) in both states and will pad his already insurmountable lead in the popular vote and pledged delegate count with his considerable win in North Carolina. More importantly , he did not provide her the opportunity to declare any sort of momentum that might lead the only voters that still matter, superdelegates, to reconsider subverting democracy.

Unfortunately for Democrats, that isn't going to stop her and her minions from attempting to declare one. Expect to hear from every every Clinton lapdog with access to a microphone that Obama (foolishly) branded Indiana a "tiebreaker." The Clinton campaign now goes into desperation mode. How that will differ from the behavior of the last two month's, I have no idea, but it should terrify not just Obama supporters but Democrats as well.

For the record, I could have written every preceding word a week ago and felt comfortable they would still stand. There was no changing that this ridiculous charade was going to continue with every demographic and political issue long-ago settled.
