Click the play button to see what Jack and our viewers had to say.  FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty: The 16-month fight between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama continues tomorrow in North Carolina and Indiana. Obama leads Clinton in the polls in North Carolina, while the latest average of polls suggests Clinton is now slightly ahead in Indiana. If Obama can deliver a pair of wins, it would be a huge psychological boost for his campaign and could bring him one step closer to winning the nomination. If Clinton wins both, she’ll still be behind but will think she’s won the nomination. The fact is that Obama continues to lead Clinton in everything except superdelegates where he has narrowed her lead to just 14. He leads in pledged delegates, popular vote and number of states won. A new poll out also suggests that Obama has rebounded from some of the damage caused by the Reverend Jeremiah Wright controversy. The New York Times/CBS News poll shows 60% of registered voters approve of how Obama handled the situation, and a majority say the news media spent too much time covering the story. Also, Obama’s lead over Clinton among Democratic primary voters has increased to 12 points, up from 8 points just a few days ago. However Obama seems to have lost his edge when it comes to the question of electability. In February, 59% said Obama was the stronger candidate, compared with 28% who said Clinton. In this newest survey, the two are essentially tied. Here’s my question to you: Considering Barack Obama’s lead, how important are Indiana and North Carolina? Interested to know which ones made it on air? Filed under: Barack Obama • Indiana/North Carolina Primary |
