Obama Wins Wisconsin, 10 Straight Victories

Obama has been projected to win Wisconsin, and with Hawaii it will be 10 straight victories. And this was supposed to be a Hillary Clinton State. And given the recent surge in Texas it means the NY Senator is in big trouble.

CNN reported that voters overwhelmingly gave their support to Obama on the electability issue. Hillary constantly talked about her experience. But what does it matter if you can't get elected. Right this moment Ms.Clinton is using the same rhetoric while giving a speech in Ohio. It seems everytime she loses she's in the next state holding a rally. All the talk about Obama's plagiarism and not wanting to debate more often are not enough for to win even a primary, much less a nomination. The snowball just keeps getting bigger:

[...]in early exit polls tonight, Obama held Clinton to a virtual tie among Wisconsin Democratic primary voters who said they have a union member in their household — 50 percent for Clinton to 49 percent for Obama — and actually edged her among women, 51 percent to 49 percent.

Clinton held a narrow advantage over Obama among Catholic poll respondents — who made up 43 percent of voters interviewed — 51 percent to 48 percent. She also held narrow leads among voters with only a high school education, people 60 or older and those making between $15,000-$30,000 a year.

But Obama kept those margins close and took easy wins among his traditional base of supporters.

Among voters 49 years old and younger he had a significant 64-39 percent advantage over Clinton. College-educated voters, who made up 72 percent of those polled, favored him 59 percent to 39 percent.

Obama had a slight edge among voters who called themselves Democrats — 50 percent to 49 percent — but overwhelmingly topped Clinton among the 27 percent of respondents who called themselves independents, taking 63 percent of their votes to Clinton's 36 percent.

Fiscal-minded voters:

Exit polls showed 43 percent of Democratic voters in Wisconsin said the economy was the most important issue in deciding their vote — followed by the war in Iraq at 29 percent and health care at 25 percent. Fifty-five percent of those who cited the economy voted for Obama, compared to 43 percent for Clinton.

And 70 percent said U.S. trade with other countries causes the loss of American jobs, while only 17 percent said it creates jobs, and 9 percent said it has no effect. Those who felt trade loses jobs also favored Obama, 54-43 percent.
