I told you so
Never ignore the north of the state of Wisconsin. Obama came here for a full-fledged campaign stop along with a number of sites up north, and people went nuts over him. It got lots of press. WPR here ran a straw poll this morning and Obama won overwhelmingly.
Huckabee showed up and did a perfunctory stop, and people were not impressed. Most of the Republicans and Democrats here are moderates. In the north, think pragmatists.
Hilary should have visited Eau Claire, Wausaw, and/or La Crosse. That would have gotten her more votes. Her people were here. The real problem for here is that the establishment Democratic party up north is disorganized. Obama bypassed them. An Obama supporter and a McCain supporter knocked on my door on Saturday (not at the same time). No Clinton supporter showed up on my door in the great white frozen north.
In person, she wins. But her campaign needs to get it together. That campaign is badly orgnaized. The Clinton camp here is barely visible, versus McCain and Obama.
If this is what she's doing, Clinton needs a new strategist.
