The North Carolina and Indiana Democratic Primaries are being held today, and early reports indicate we may be in for a surprise.
Hillary Clinton has been closing the gap on Barack Obama in North Carolina, rebounding from a double-digit deficit to a mere 5-6 point deficit over the weekend. Reports from around the state on Monday indicated that the trend is definitely going Hillary's way and that she has pulled within easy striking distance of Obama, who had enjoyed a comfortable lead until now.
Indiana is expected to go Hillary's way, but Obama has picked up some key support in the state. The question is which part of the state can turn out the most voters.
North Carolina's governor is solidly behind Hillary and has purchased ads that are running throughout the state that provide a ringing endorsement for the ex-First Lady.
Although Hillary is quickly catching up to Obama in North Carolina, she may run out of time before overtaking him. That said, some pundits in the state are predicting a Hillary upset, which would be a serious setback for the Obama campaign.
Check back later this evening for further updates.
