Clinton cuts short stay in Wisconsin as Obama gains ground

[bijou]

Hillary Clinton yesterday cut short a campaign swing through Wisconsin in a further sign of trouble for her attempt to break Barack Obama's winning streak in the race for the Democratic nomination.

Obama also took a break from Wisconsin yesterday, but his detour was to North Carolina to seek the support of John Edwards, who dropped out of the Democratic race last month.

The campaign cancelled events that would have kept her in the state through tomorrow, when Wisconsin and Hawaii go to the polls. Instead, she will leave today.

The early exit - after several cancelled events yesterday because of a winter storm - suggests Clinton has given up hope of a win in the state, despite only a narrow lead for Obama in the polls. It also reaffirms the do-or-die nature of the primary contests in Texas and Ohio on March 4.

Depending on what's down-ballot tomorrow, I'm thinking about voting for the Hildebeast tomorrow instead of a Repub, just to do my part to keep the Dem catfight going.
