Back on the subject of the primary, today is a big day that should see things get a little bit more sorted out. Trump appears poised to coast to easy wins in Florida and North Carolina. Florida is winner-take-all, so that will be a huge blow to those who are still trying to stop him.
Ohio looks very interesting. It's an open primary (all voters can vote in either the Democratic or Republican primary), but polls indicate a close race between Kasich and Trump. Ohio is also winner-take-all, so if Trump wins there it is pretty much all over but the crying.
Missouri looks like it will be a two-way race between Trump and Cruz. Illinois looks favourable for Trump as well, though largely due to a vote split between the others.
All in all, this is a big day--we should have a very good sense of whether Trump is going to clinch before the convention by the end of today.
