Prediction for the Indiana and North Carolina Primaries

Alright, I had a slight internet problem earlier, but I am back for my prediction for tomorrow’s primaries in Indiana and North Carolina (and I plan on live blogging the event tomorrow as well):

For the Democrats:

North Carolina:

1. Obama 54% 63 delegates
2. Clinton 45% 52 delegates
3. Others 1% 0 delegates

Indiana:

1. Clinton 53% 39 delegates
2. Obama 46% 33 delegates
3. Others 1% 0 delegates

Republicans

North Carolina:

1. McCain 67% 69 delegates
2. Huckabee 16% 0 delegates
3. Paul 16% 0 delegates
4. Keyes 1% 0 delegates

Indiana:

1. McCain 66% 27 delegates
2. Paul 16% 0 delegates
3. Huckabee 12% 0 delegates
4. Romney 6% 0 delegates

Considering that North Carolina is a southern state, I think Huckabee supporters will come out more, the usual Paul supporters of around 15% now, will come out.  It’s a risky call, but I don’t think McCain will clear 70% in North Carolina or Indiana.  I don’t think as many Romney supporters will come out in protest as Huckabee supporters.

I may update the Democratic prediction early tomorrow depending on how the last minute polls show things happening.

Done Predicting,

Ranting Republican
