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?

Indiana and North Carolina are very important to Mr. Obama. Winning both of those states will show that he has rebounded from wounds, some self-inflicted, that slowed his progress in the polls. I believe the media have been much harder on Mr. Obama than Ms. Clinton. However, if he wants to demonstrate his battle-readiness, he must win some wars.
Arnold from West Virginia writes:
I think that Hillary will probably win Indiana by single digits and Obama will win N.C. in higher single digits. He will end the day with a net gain in delegates, which makes her the loser.
Liz from California writes:
All of the states are important. All states, even Florida and Michigan. Let's not forget those. I just love your viewers who keep complimenting you on your impartial reporting. If you didn't have something negative to say about the Clintons each day, it would be a slow news day for you… Contrary to your belief, there are many Hillary supporters out there who would love to see her beat McCain come November and based on everything that we have seen and heard in the last several weeks, she is the ONLY one who can do it.
Mark from Oklahoma City writes:
If Clinton could win both states, she would become a real contender despite the delegate count. If Obama wins both states, say bye-bye to Hillary.
Liz from San Diego writes:
Jack, Only the media pretends the race is still a contest. Those of us who can do math know we're just humoring Hillary. The media has become very one-sided trying to keep this contest alive but I think they are turning off a lot of loyal viewers in the process. Please stop treating us like we're idiots.

Jack, Indiana has never been important...not even to those of us who live here.
