The democratic candidates are both in need of delegates in order to secure the nomination. The Primary elections today in Indiana and North Carolina offer 187 delegates to the winner of the elections if both states are won. Although the race is close, it is projected that Obama will come out with North Carolina and Clinton will get Indiana. A split would bring Obama closer to the nomination but it wouldn't make Clinton step down either.
Clinton is in dire need of getting as many delegates as she can at this point so not getting North Carolina is a huge disappointment for her. But it is still early in the polls so this might be off a little. Even if Clinton gets the 75 delegates from Indiana she doesn't really have much of a chance of winning enough delegates to get the democratic nominee. And like i said in an earlier post, she doesn't look like she is going to give up any time soon.
