I Guess Wisconsin Doesn't Matter Either

My apologies to the people from the great state of Wisconsin in regard to Mark Penn's dismissal of all those that vote against Hillary. Thank you for showing up to vote today despite the frigid temperatures. Tens of thousands came out to vote for their candidate and ended up making McCain and Obama the parties' respective winners. Although the Republicans have their nomination process almost wrapped up at this point, ours is still ongoing and the battle between Hillary and Barack doesn't stop.

Not counting Hawaii (since their polls close three hours from now) Wisconsin makes Obama's streak increase to nine straight victories. Hillary knew February would be tough, so she half-heartedly campaigned in the states of Virginia, Wisconsin, Maryland, Washington and so on. So far she's lost everyone of them and is staking her campaign's livelihood on two states, namely Texas and Ohio.

While Ohio is still polling favorably for her, the last two measurements from the Lone Star state shows that Obama has pulled within the margin of error and could possibly take the state right from under her. Winning Texas would be a tremendous upset, even if Ohio stays in Clinton's corner. Hopefully she'll heed the advice of the party and for the good of it, bow out following the March 4th contests. McCain and his hordes are already attacking Obama, so we must be united in fighting back.
