Some Wisconsin Polling
After a few polls this weekend showing Wisconsin at least attainable for Clinton, Public Policy Polling is out with one decidedly less optimistic.
Wisconsin
Barack Obama 53%
Hillary Clinton 40%
More interesting is SUSA’s general election matchup numbers:
Hillary Clinton 42
John McCain 49
Barack Obama 52
John McCain 42
Since Tim Pawlenty has to be considered an odds-on favorite for the VP slot under McCain, and Wisconsin is a battleground state (as might be Minnesota), that strikes me as particularly relevant.
Of course now Team Clinton has decided that, by definition, red-state results in the Democratic primary are insignificant. Since it looks like she’s set to lose Wisconsin in both ways, presumably their votes in the primary race don’t matter. That puts them on an increasingly large list that apparently includes everything but California and Arkansas and Pennsylvania (a state which counts because it looks set to vote for Hillary in April and it hates black people).
The other irrelevant state that insists on holding it’s silly dog-and-pony-show non-Hillary rubber-stamping “election” tomorrow is Hawaii, which expects record and perhaps system-busting turnout. N.B.: Pacific Islanders don’t technically count as white, i.e. real, people.
A little further down the road, a new poll out on Texas has it 50-48 Clinton. We eagerly await the results to find out if Texas counts this year or not.
