"Shadows and Tall Trees"
I'm curious if anyone has any predictions on Wisconsin and Hawaii? There's been a lot of noise on the island, and I wonder if it's a distract attention from the events that will take place on Tuesday?

3. I found this article interesting:
http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/02/18/america/NA-POL-US-Elections.php

MILWAUKEE: Hillary Rodham Clinton, hoping for a win in the Wisconsin primary Tuesday that could help turn around her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, reached out to working class families with a detailed economic plan and accused rival Barack Obama of plagiarizing in his speeches. ...

Polls show a tight race in Wisconsin, even as Clinton's advisers have publicly downplayed their expectation for the state. Wisconsin offer the winner a hefty 92 delegates while Obama's native Hawaii, which holds its caucuses also on Tuesday, offers 20. .....

6. Very interesting.
I'm sure it's coincidental how organized Clinton, Wolfson, and many of the Clinton supporters all seem to be concerned with plagiarism in political speeches.

I really expected better given the Clinton machinery.

11. I do not think
that is what the Clinton campaign needs to be focusing on now. It's been a day of distractions -- Bill Clinton yipping at a couple people, etc.

Tomorrow we should be back to the primaries.

2. Wisconsin will not count. Hawaii will not count.
By the way, I have it on good authority that Kansas, Illinois, and Hawaii don't count because they are all Obama's home states.

Looking forward to Texas not counting...

5. Is Texas a home state, too? Or is it because its a caucus/primary state? Or will we just count the
exit poll data? I'm getting sooooo confused !!

7. We will have to wait for Penn's next conference call to find out.
Likely, we will hear something along the lines of "real" Democrats support Clinton.

9. Wisconsin is very conservative
Has Obama done well in conservative states?

I have seen many many commercials for Obama and I think Clinton decided not to put time or money into Wisconsin.

12. Careful
That prediction will likely bring out the jackals. How dare you contend that it could be close!
