It is primary day in Indiana and North Carolina, as the Obama-Clinton contest rolls on.

In Indiana, 72 delegates are at stake, all awarded proportionally, 47 by congressional district and 25 statewide. Indiana also has 13 superdelegates. The RealClearPolitics average of the most recent Indiana polls puts Hillary up by 5% (interestingly, only the Zogby poll has Obama ahead, by 2%).

In North Carolina, 115 delegates are at stake, all awarded proportionally, 77 by congressional district and 38 statewide. North Carolina has 19 superdelegates. The RealClearPolitics average of the North Carolina polls puts Obama ahead by 8%.

In both cases, what will be most interesting to watch is whether or not there is a "Bradley Effect". Will the actual results show Clinton doing better in each state than the polls suggest? We will find out tonight.

Thomas Sowell has a negative opinion of Barack Obama.

Bob Herbert writes about a proposal for a new GI Bill. McCain is opposed, which to me seems to be very bad politics.

Anne Applebaum writes about a possible war in the Caucuses.

Frank Gaffney writes about the dangers of Islamofascism here at home.
