Texas, Vermont, Ohio, and RI are having their primary tomorrow and the time for this number of delegates to go up for bid couldn't be better. We could very well see the end of competition for both primaries, but in different ways:
If McCain wins big tomorrow then he will have actually gained the delegates needed to win the GOP Primary, thus ending the race. Likewise, on the Democratic side, if Obama wins big, he will probably have gained enough delegates where he'll effectively have this race in the bag. If he wins BIG or sweeps all four states, he'll very likely start being referred to as the "like Democratic party nominee."
On the flip side though are the two underdogs, Huckabee and Clinton. If Clinton wins big she effectively hurls herself back into this race and makes it anybody's game. However a Huckabee win will be much less exciting. As I said before, I'm really loving Huckabee's "hang in there kid" attitude, but a victory will only really delay the inevitable. If Huckabee stops McCain from winning the primary tomorrow it will be a big embarrassment, as he should win no contest.
My predictions
------------
McCain gets the nomination
Obama does indeed win, but just as many other states have played out, he will not win big. Clinton and him will be neck and it will probably not be enough to stop caring about the race. The question is, would Clinton ever pull out? I don't think she would, but unless she does catchup she really should and spare America the possible conspiracy of going to convention.
