Hillary is making a colossal mistake skipping Wisconsin.
Wisconsin is a very favorable state for her. She should be there tonight. It's going to be virtually impossible to win March 4 without winning Wisconsin. Wisconsin should feel slighted. I wonder if they will give her what she deserves.

1. I dunno. I think Chelsea was in Eau Claire this afternoon.
Anyway, I suspect WI will go Obama.

2. I agree she's making a mistake
But her campaign is probably so low on funds that they are hoping for a miracle in Texas and Ohio to keep her in the race, so they have to triage their spending.

Its almost over, and I think she knows it.

BREAKING NEWS
Chelsea stumps for 'mom'
Go ahead — ask Chelsea Clinton anything. She'll probably have the answer. The once and (maybe) future first daughter spoke for nearly an hour today at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse on behalf of her mom, U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, and mom's campaign for the Democratic nomination. 1:20 pm

* Bill Clinton to be in La Crosse Thursday
3:03 pm

chelsea will make four stops, madison, milwaukee, la crosse and greenbay

7. That's all noise.
It didn't work for her in SC. Showing up in the Potomac 2-3 days before the election didn't work for her either.

Obama has ads too, and probably more of them.

5. She has no hope in Wisconsin
It borders Illinois and Minnesota both of which went very heavy for Obama. It will be another 20 point loss, even if she campaigned.

11. He accepted 2 debates last week.
Hillary decided she wanted another. Why don't you contribute a few dollars to her bank account to help her out. She still needs to repay that loan you know.

19. No she challenged him to a joint press conference, let me know when she proposes changing the format
The "debates" aren't debates unless the candidates get to ask each other questions.

16. I agree.
Why is she? I don't think she is. There must be some reasoning behind it.

31. I think it's a mistake, in the latest poll I saw she was ahead but perhaps there's more
recent polls, anyway I don't understand why she'd be doing this if she is. Wisconsin's economy has been hit hard recently and I think there's alot of support for her here but she needs to keep the pressure on. I've been seeing ads for her for the past few days but have been seeing BO ads for weeks now.

He's had a local office here for months long before anyone else,

kind of funny, it seemed like Wisconsin would "count" and now b/c 2 big states are right after us we look like we might get skipped again. Isn't democracy great?
