Hillary Knows She Has To Win Wisconsin
By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Hillary, WisconsinWhy win?
Well first off she’s spending a bunch of money in a state that doesn’t really have a ton of delegates. This should be one of those insignificant states Mark Penn keeps talking about, and yet now it’s somehow extremely significant. Why? Because after 8 Ls, it’s important for her to actually get a W in her column.
For more proof of how Hillary has stepped it up, here’s another ad she’s running in the state countering Obama’s counter to her first “he’s afraid to debate me” ad.
Again, this means one thing: Wisconsin REALLY matters. It’s the reason she put an attack ad out there in the first place and is answering his answer. She really didn’t plan for a fight after Super Tuesday, and now things are getting more pointed…again.
Still, I listen to her “solutions vs. speeches” message and I just don’t think it’s going to happen for her. These talking points are easily countered, especially since they’re pretty much the same things she’s been saying about Obama since day 1.
I guess we’ll see…

Clinton has pretty much set up the debate to have everythign in her advantage. the debate’s moderator is an ex-Clinton supporter, so that is worrisome. Anyway, asking for so many debates seemed unreasonable, especially since there has already been so many, but at least obama has agreed to two where it mattered the most.
Also, she claims that the people of Wisconsin have their rights to a debate, yet she’s busy campaigning in Texas. I really don’t want to be part of her ‘team’.
If she gets the nomination, it’s going to be really tough for me to vote for her come november.

Hey Joe - it’s almost smelting time! Nice line with the whole Monica thing - I really enjoyed it. Billary doesn’t understand the underlying practical nature of Wisconsin voters - it’ll go down just like Minnesota. Then she cries and says it was all the peppers she has been eating, and fights to a draw/loss in TX and a small unfriendly victory in Ohio - then maybe she’ll finally get the message that it isn’t just her.
