Indiana
DEMOCRATS
The Democratic race between Clinton and Sanders is expected to be a close one, with 83 pledged delegates at stake.
Clinton already has 91% of the earned/pledged delegates required to win the nomination; Sanders acknowldeges that his ability to overtake her is slim to none. But, Bernie is still pledging to stay in the race to push his platform onto the Democratic party and says it's still possible to steal some of Clinton's Super Delegates and wind up beating her with their votes at a contested convention. I don't think so, but it will be amazing if it really goes down that way.
REPUBLICANS
There are 57 earned/pledged delegates for the Republican candidates, with a winner-take-all possibility with a high enough statewide lead.
Trump has 81% of the earned/pledged delegates required to win the nomination at this point. He's leading Cruz in Indiana in all the latest polls. If Trump gets all 57 delegates today, it will make it easier to secure the balance of delegates he needs from those available in the California June 7th primary. I agree with FAHQTOO, Cruz needs Indiana badly.
