Possible Upset in Wisconsin:

Fightin' Horn II

This website is reporting a very tight contest between Clinton and Obama, with the possibility of Clinton having "closed the gap" so much so that there may be an upset. Looks the negative "plagiarism" attacks may have paid off.

There are also reports of Republicans crossing over to vote for Hilary, because they want her as the nominee.

The Link
 
Clinton can win Wisconsin. Heck, there was a poll which showed her with a 6 pt lead on Sunday. The aggregate of polls give Obama a 4 pt victory. But anyway you look at it, this is a close race. So it would be a "mild" upset.
 
wisconsin is a blue collar state..the blue collar states have done well for hillary, either way, the are going to probably tie again and split delegates...im rooting for ties in all the contests just so i can see the chaos that is going to ensue.
 
I've never expected Obama to win Wisconsin or Ohio. I do expect him to win more Texas delegates than Clinton and be close on the popular vote.
 
Actually I do expect Obama to win WI, but in a close election. I agree that WI is what one would think would be Hillary country.
 
It may be close but I think Obama wins Wisc and obviously Hawaii

another 2 for 2 night
 
I do not like how this is shaping up. A win will be huge for her, no two ways around it; and a loss will be devastating for Obama.

I just have a bad feeling about all of this. Having Barack Obama as the nominee would just be too good to be true. At the end of the day, I think we will be stuck with the Clintons and lose the election.

I pray I am wrong. Gawd I hate the Clintons.
 
one thing that is certain, which ever wins it WON'T be an upset.


too close to have a favorite, and with the totally screwy way the dems hand out delegates even if you win, it ain't no big deal if it's close.
 
My prediction:

Obama wins Hawaii big (20 delegates at stake) gaining about 10 on Clinton.

Clinton wins Wisconsin in a tight race (74 delegates at stake) gaining about 5 on Obama.

Net result, +5 for Obama, but Clinton will appear to have momentum after ending her losing streak.
 
The delegate gap will still be +115 to +120 in Obabma's favor after today's primaries. I don't see that Clinton can overcome that gap on March 4th, even if she wins all 3 states 55/45.

This one will be played out in the battle for Superdelegates, formal petitions to the DNC wrt Florida and Michigan, and perhaps even a federal lawsuit. It's just getting started.
 
I hope to hell my bad feeling is the same one I had when I woke up the day of the USC game.

one interesting thing is the overwhelming number of people that voted Democratic: With 70% of the vote in each primary, there are 710,000 votes in Dem. vs. 247,000 in Republ.

Almost 3:1 is overwhelming.

Hook'em!!!

and as that noted historian Pat Buchanan just noted: Obama got more votes than McCain and Huckabee combined.

431,000 - 266,000 (w/72% in) I"d say.
