It Ends In North Carolina

This primary season has been intense to say the least and I’m sure you sometimes ask yourself the same thing.  When will this madness end?

When will Hillary end her hopeless crusade to win a nomination that is becoming more and more Huckabee-esque with each contest?  Why won’t the superdelegates step in and end it?  What is going to happen to Florida and Michigan?  Can’t Reid, Pelosi, Gore, Dean, someone stop the bleeding?  Are we really going to have to endure this ugly primary season until June or the convention?

Well, I believe the answer is that the super-delegates cannot do anything until the Pennsylvania primary is over.  And I believe they will end this after the North Carolina and Indiana primaries on May 6th.

I also believe that the manner in which Florida and Michigan plays out is irrelevant.

At the time of writing, Hillary against McCain is 50/50.

Obama against McCain is 69/31.
