Wisconsin is Far More Important than Team Hillary Will Admit
While Texas and Ohio loom on March 4th as the real “Super Tuesday” of the Democratic nominating process, Wisconsin may be the true tipping point in the race. While team Hillary will never say it, they desperately want to win or come close otherwise momentum will be decidely with Obama over the next two weeks. Barring a game- changing event in this week’s debate–or some other free media gaffe–the media will continue giving Obama good press…leaving the Clinton campaign with little room to change the storyline. The latest polls in Wisconsin generally show Obama with a 5-10 point lead (our average of the last 10 public polls has Obama up 8). Some are even higher. The demographics in WI favor Clinton but Obama is likely to win by 8-10. If this does occur, it will make Texas and OH much harder. And if Obama does win handlily then it will mean that he is splitting (or winning) amond women — a very bad harbinger for Clinton.
