So Ohio and Texas are over and... ummm?

As far as climactic Primary battles go, that settled absolutely nothing.

It looks like, on delegates, Obama actually won Texas, and the whole night netted Hillary a handful of delegates. Obama is up by over 100 delegates (120-150 depending on where you look). Even if Hillary wins handily over the next few weeks, it is almost certain that she will not catch up with him.

But Obama is equally unlikely to get that necessary 2,025 majority to clinch the nomination.

So my questions are,

What will it take for either of these people to clinch the nomination?

Does the long, protracted battle help or hurt the dem's prospects for the general election?

Who do you think is in a better position to grab the nomination, and how strong are their odds?
