We'll see how crucial it really is. Many polls so far are predicting a roughly 15% win for Obama in North Carolina, which will be another nail in Hillary's coffin, regardless of whether she wins Indiana. She needs to not only win Indiana, but at least do significantly better than expected in NC, meaning a low single-digit loss or better, to have any real credibility among superdelegates.

The DNC establishment really wants to wrap this up by the end of the month. Hillary needs to show clear signs that her campaign is still viable in order to keep going to the convention. A double-digit loss to Obama after all the problems in his campaign is not going to cut it.
