end of the road or staging post?

Voters in North Carolina and Indiana go to the polls today.

Here's eight questions that may or may not get answered.

The biggest one, of course, is will the nomination race be over by tomorrow? The answer is, only if Obama wins both (and even then not absolutely definitely).

If Clinton wins both, then suddenly her odds of winning the nomination shoot from very unlikely to something like 50/50. That would at least be exciting.

The most likely outcome, however - Clinton wins Indiana, and Obama wins N.C, by similar margins - means that we go on...and on.

(The other possibility, of course, is that Clinton wins N.C and Obama wins Indiana. At which point, skies would darken from the debris of a million exploding heads).
