Wisconsin/Hawaii Decide: Obama and McCain Solidify Leads

It looks like another solid night for Sen. Obama. The results aren't in yet from Hawaii, but it's obvious he will win that one decisively. In Wisconsin, it's looking now like he won with a 15-17 point lead ahead of Sen. Clinton. His victory speech, from Houston, was full of (cautious) confidence looking ahead.

The spin from the Clinton camp is the same as it's been since Super Tuesday... "Meh!". I was watching MSNBC after the Obama speech, and a Hillary campaign staffer-- her former press secretary when she was First Lady-- was telling Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann that Wisconsin isn't an important state and that Hillary didn't want to win it anyway. Seriously. This people are becoming parodies of themselves.

The fact of the matter is that Clinton was hoping for a surprise Wisconsin win and was pulling out all the stops-- new attack memes against the Obamas-- to try and make that happen. In the end, all that did was give cable news something to talk about for a few days.

It's onward now to March 4 and Texas and Ohio. You know, the real states...

[PS- On the GOP side, McCain won Wisconsin, Washington primaries. Sucks to be you, Rush.]
