I am sitting here in Milwaukee and this is a close race. Over the weekend Wisconsin had events cancelled due to weather. Cliton staff was here in force over the weekend. In Milwaukee, Obama campaign is here in force. And the effort paid off with another WIN

Where have I been conducting exit polls? - In Milwaukee, downtown, and south of the airport. In otherwords, working neighborhoos, the Grand avenue Mall, in the places populated by normal people.

You can argue percentages, the split delgates, or dice it any way you want. Obama will be able to claim WI as a WON state. He doesn’t have to spin it as his winning by less than 3% points. He doesn’t have to spin it as his only winning 3 more delegates then Hillary. He will take the easy path to understand - he won the State of Wisconsin.

And that will be what his camp will take into the next three big states coming up. Get with a winner.

Big suprises of the day? - Exit polls show Obama won the heart of female voters that Clinton expected to take.

My polls conducted at the Milwaukee Grand Avenue mall found voters split between Obama and Clinton all day long. And the close exit polls all across the state show how tight this race was. On the Republican side, Huckabee was here last week. He stays in the race, and continues to take the high road - preaching his message and getting votes. He is a force for McCain to deal with to win the GOP let alone the Presidency. McCain needs to continue to win strong against Huckabee not just to beat him, but to win over his supporters - voluntarily.
