After Indiana and North Carolina Is it over for Senator Clinton?



Senator Obama needs less than 200 delegates to pass the winning post and there are more than enough pledged delegates remaining to elect him, while the super-delegates wait to put him far past in the polls.
In the last two primaries Clinton was not able to damage Obama. This is the evidence that some super-delegates have been waiting for.It is predicted that many Super Delegates have made up their minds that they would not support Mrs Clinton, and so this had become a case of whether or not Obama could close the deal. That is what appears to have happened last night.
A relaxed-looking Barack Obama mocked her suggestion that this would be a "game-changing moment" but a defiant Hillary referred to Indiana as a "tie breaker."
However the general ambiance of the victory party seemed subdued as she alluded several times to an Obama victory. Chances for a Clinton victory are mathematically minimal.
