So who's gonna win?

Well, our primaries seem to be slowly but surely drawing to a close. Soon the Ohio and Texas primaries will come to pass, so as good budding politicians it's our job to guess as to who will come out on top.
Do you think it will be Clinton or Obama to pull through the finish? Who do you think has a better chance? Who do you WANT to win?
Best of luck to your respective candidates!
