The latest defeat for Hillary Clinton has to hurt. For the ninth contest in a row, she lost to Barack Obama. But now Obama is cutting into her base--white blue collar workers and women. HRC is hoping to do well in Ohio, one of her touted "comeback" states, and Wisconsin's electorate is very similar to the Buckeye State.Her desparation is showing, as it appears she had a role in media reports about Obama lifting lines from speeches of fellow Democrat, Governor Deval Patrick of Massachussetts. But she's going to have to do better than that to even slow down Obama. The Cult of Change followers don't care who writes Obama's speeches, or that they are second-hand ones.
On the Republican end, John McCain won in Wisconsin, and the news is breaking just now that he'll win in Washington state.
On the media end of things, thank God the Wisconsin Primary is over. Yes, we get it, Wisconsin has cold winters. Just ask a fourth grader.
UPDATE February 20: Obama won in Washington and Hawaii as well.
