mccain Beats Clinton And Obama In Wisconsin
I voted for hillary in the Wisconsin Primary, and it seems that Wisconsin was a turning point for Obama.
The poll is a rassmussen poll, from the WisPolitics.com website.
Here is the link I posted on the Wisconsin Forum:
Please comment if you wish.

Obama won handily here, so I'm not sure how to interpret this. Ideas?

1. The General Election hasn't started yet. Both HRC and BHO have been
under intense scrutiny so far, and McCain has gotten a free ride. Obama's only now shifting into GE mode; the sooner HRC drops, the sooner we'll be able to turn the full resources of the party on McCain.

2. Don't worry about these polls.
They aren't reliable at all this far out.

17. I live in Wisconsin
Obama will win. If Hillary had dropped out of the race after Wisconsin or even after Texas/Ohio, the Democratic Party would be in better shape. Sen. Clinton is selfish, narcissistic and completely devoid of party loyalty. AS evidence, I give you West Virginia. Also, all the surrogates are out spinning against the Democratic nominee-sickening.

7. No Shit, I Live In The County Where The Asshole Was A Judge
He presided over my great-aunt's divorce. Shawano County by the way. But I live in a very small town which is a Democratic island oasis.

16. And Russ Feingold.
Obama will win Wisconsin. He's leading McCain in every other poll taken in WI.

4. Ideas? Obama is campaigning against two Clintons, McCain and the whole GOP right now
Once Hillary is dragged kicking and screaming out of this primary, and it is just Obama vs. McCain, he will make ground.
Don't get too worked up about polls this far out. I admit they can be interesting.

WI is one of the few true swing states left, so it will be a battleground.

5. That's what campaigns are for
And why an election without a campaign is meaningless. It's also why Hillary needs to get out. Obama doesn't want to attack her, so she's getting away with destroying him while he's trying to focus on McCain. Once she gets out of the damn way, he can turn his full force on his GE plan and those numbers will switch again.

12. These polls don't mean squat
6 months till the election, and the American voter and media have notoriously short attention spans. Nobody will even remember this crap a few months from now.
