Dems 2008: Off Wisconsin! [Karl]

Sen. Hillary Clinton is scaling back her Wisconsin campaign schedule by a full day.  It looks like Sen. Barack Obama also may be leaving early.  Jeff Greenfield thought it could have been fertile ground for Clinton.  Chris Bowers thought (and may still think) it is a “must-win” for Obama.

My speculation would be that neither side was moving the numbers there enough to affect their projected delegate take and are moving onto greener pastures beyond the Cheddar Curtain.

    Here is a great page on the Wisconsin primary over the years…

    “Of all fifty states of the union,” Theodore White writes in his classic “The Making of the President 1960,” “Wisconsin is probably that state in which professional politicians most hate to tempt a primary. It was Wisconsin, as a matter of fact, that in 1903 first invented the presidential primary, which so many other states have since copied. And the political philosophy that inspired that revolutionary invention has made and left Wisconsin in political terms an unorganized state, a totally unpredictable state, a state whose primaries have over many quadrennials proved the graveyard of great men’s presidential ambitions.”

    Who knew? Probably a lot of people really just not me.

    Why leave Wisconsin early? Have you checked out the weather there lately? Barack and Hillary are not completely stupid.
