Democratic End-Game?

Barack Obama stepped out of the worst weeks of his campaign yesterday and turned in a big win in North Carolina.

Hillary Clinton took those same weeks, and a stretch of high Clinton camp spirits, and turned in a squeaker victory — a two-point win — in Indiana.

Everybody’s vowing to battle on, but the raw numbers get harder, faster for Clinton now. In delegates. In dollars. But she looks determined.

This hour, On Point: after Indiana and North Carolina, we ask top players from both camps — and you — when and how the Democrats should finally decide.

-Tom Ashbrook
