McCain, Obama Win Wisconsin

McCain, Obama Win Wisconsin

Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) decisively defeated Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) in today's Wisconsin Democratic presidential primary, scoring a ninth consecutive victory over the New York senator.

Obama was also expected to win caucuses in Hawaii, the state in which he spent more than a decade of his youth. The Obama victory puts more pressure on Clinton, who now must win in Ohio and Texas on March 4 to sustain her campaign for the presidential nomination.

On the Republican side, Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) defeated former governor Mike Huckabee (Ark.) in the Wisconsin presidential primary. McCain's convincing victory is likely to increase the pressure on Huckabee to drop from the race and clear the way for the Arizona senator to unify the party and begin preparing for an extended general election campaign.

Ya' know.  John McCain has it pretty damn sweet.  The Republican candidate hasn't been able to mail it in like this since 1968, except for not even having to put a stamp on it in 1972.  The only drawback is McCain, bless his fossilized shell-shocked brain, doesn't have Richard Nixon's charm.

McCain, I've come to feel, is the machine candidate.
