Primary Preview-Will Clinton's Pennsylvania Momentum Help Her Pull Through Indiana and North Carolina?

Tomorrow Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama might seal the deal. Clinton's momentum coming off her win in Pennsylvania paired with Obama's Reverend Wright troubles could help propel her closer to the nomination, and position her to gain heavy super delegate support. Then again, Obama might be stronger than some think, and if he wins both states he even has the chance to make the case that the battle is over. And, still yet, Clinton could win one state, and Obama win another, taking us down the road to a brokered convention.

If you're like me, you might be looking to the polls for help. My advice--good luck, because they're fickle again this time around.

It's easy to be confused with big names like the NY Times, CBS News, Gallup, Los Angeles Times, Marist Institute, Quinnipiac University, USA Today/CNN, Washington Post/ABC News, and Pew all in the polling business.

Today I talked with Carroll Doherty, Associate Director at the Pew Research Center.
When I asked him who he thinks will come out on top tomorrow he said, "Predictions are for suckers." Even the pollsters are confused! And I don't blame him, because if there is one thing we've learned this election season, it's that the polls can certainly be wrong.
