Wisconsin, Hawaii, and Washington State primaries TODAY!

Both the democrats and republicans will be battling it out in the Wisconsin primary today.  Other states holding contests today include Hawaii with its Democratic caucus and Washington State with its GOP primary.  For the democrats there are 92 delegates up for grabs in Wisconsin and 20 delegates at stake in Hawaii.  For the republicans, Wisconsin has 40 delegates available and 19 delegates at stake in Washington state.  The real focus will be on Wisconsin today.  Both Obama and Clinton are neck and neck in the Copper State.  Wisconsin is a state made up of Clinton’s base, blue collar, working class, and only 6 percent african-americans.  Most would say that Wisconsin is tailor made for the Clintons, yet the Clinton campaign initially decided to pass on trying to win the state.   The Clinton campaign has said  that it does not have to win Wisconsin to win the nomination.  The question is whether Obama can pull out a win in the Badger State.  This is a very tight race between the two democratic candidates.  Turnout is expected to be record breaking, notwithstanding current weather conditions.
