Survey USA, the most accurate outfit in the game this cycle, is trotting out its most recent poll results. The North Carolina numbers aren’t in yet, but the Indiana numbers look very promising for the Lioness of Tuzla. SUSA shows Hillary Clinton with an impressive 54-42 lead in Mellencamp Country. A couple of related predictions: 1) If Hillary wins by double digits in Indiana and squeaks out a victory in North Carolina, she will give the Democratic super-delegates much to ponder. Pat Caddell observed after the Lioness’ most recent victories, “The nomination process is not a suicide pact.” Caddell can’t be the only Democratic poobah harboring such sentiments. 2) If the super-delegates do take a fresh look at Hillary while simultaneously deciding that Obama is too weak a candidate to take a flyer on in a year that should be a slam dunk for the Democratic party, Hillary’s strange new respect from the right will have a life expectancy best measured in hours as opposed to weeks or months.
