All you guys making fun of global warming here is proof.

The Bradley-Wilder effect kicks in throughout working class WI, and Obamamania without the mania can’t motivate kids and yuppies to brave the cold. The college kids will stay wrapped up at home around warm bhongs, focusing on the Change They Can Fantasize About. 50-50 – though it’s a moral victory for Hillary so long as the networks don’t call the election at the moment polls close.

(All based on little more than wishful thinking…)

It’s too bad about that global warming thing Madcon. Did Al Gore recently speak in your area?

It’s been the candidates here that have caused the week-long Gorebal “Warming”, complete with ice in Milwaukee on Sunday. Of course, the good news (especially for MadisonConservative) is that the presence of Obama actually caused them to salt the streets; the Peoples’ Republic of Madistan generally don’t salt too much.

Obama wins, but by a sliver. The drive-by’s will say it is a default win for Hillary as Obama will have had to count on Madison to pull it out for him. Only defeats by democrats are considered wins by the MSM.

Obama 51%
Hillary 49%

Come on, dude. We haven’t had a winter like this in 15 years. This has been brutal.

MadisonConservative on February 19, 2008 at 10:28 AM

Negative 3. Ouch. Yesterday we had a mild day in the 60’s here in MA. Of course, it was accompanied by 40 mph gusts, horrid visibility, and some rain, heavy in parts, to make up for it.

The real question is:
If Hillary loses the nomination…how long before divorce proceedings?

scottm on February 19, 2008 at 10:12 AM

The irony is, I really think she would have won easily if she would have filed last year or so. The independent women, would have done her good, instead she is overshadowed and is basically a “kept” women by her ex-president and wholly untrusted (loved but untrusted) hubby…stand by your man and lose.

I agree that as Texas as slips away her message will go to whatever extreme the “machine” thinks will pull her skirts out of the fire. I seems she will have to go left, which I feel will have a net neg. effect for her.

As much as I dislike the concept of strategic voting, I agree w/ AP – the prospect of open warfare and backroom delegate deals during the Dem convention here in Denver is too crazy delicious not to promote.

If it comes down to a brokered (broken?) convention, I’ll be able to climb the hogback and watch the fireworks (fireball?) from a safe distance.

Do not diminish the Cheese-Head FIB (effin’ Illinois bastards) factor, They hate people from IL,Obama being from Chicago puts a bit of a damper on him right there.

That said, the average Wisconsinite has enough ethanol-based antifreeze running through their bloodstream that frostbite shouldn’t be a problem.

Hollowpoint on February 19, 2008 at 11:10 AM

Did you really want to start the annual war early? :-)

Seriously, that ethanol-based antifreeze is the only way to survive in the land of ice cream and frozen beer.

If the weather in ’sconnie is anything like here in Minnesota, it’s going to be pretty darn cold- don’t know how that’ll affect the urban Obama vote.

That said, the average Wisconsinite has enough ethanol-based antifreeze running through their bloodstream that frostbite shouldn’t be a problem.

Hopefully McCain will pull off a win, only so we don’t have to listen to the Huckster justifying his self-obsessed decision to stay in the race.

Sorry for my thick fingers (and believe me they are)…
I wasn’t implying it would help, just saying she is desperate and the issue of the troop levels is the only real difference between her and Obama. As Texas slips away I believe the ‘machine’ will grasp at that last straw to
try to hold onto the party, swing the far lefties away from Obama.

I don’t buy that her goint total anti-war as an issue that would gain her much in Texas. Even the democrats (other then Austin) are somewhat pro-miltary, defense and neutral on Iraq. She is going to be be hurt in Texas because she miscalculated the delegate apportnment formula and spent her time and money in the wrong places.

Why no love for Hawaii? Sure, they may be Obama’s home state, but they vote today too and delegates are delegates. You wouldn’t have ignored New York, wouldya? ;)

Aloha Hawaii!

Jack M. on February 19, 2008 at 9:56 AM

Too far from the mainland, too many time zones west of the East Coast Media Cabal (it doesn’t start until midnight NYC time), and too few delegates up (only 20).

There’s also Washington State’s primary, where 19 Republican delegates are up for grabs.

It looks to me like theat damn McCain is going to win in November. Obama has that mouthy black panther wife that will turn people off, and Hillary will be pretty ragged after the current campaign let alone a follow up.

Slow and steady wins the race, and McCain will do that.

Obama takes it. He offers the biggest public dole and Milwaukee and Madison won’t be able to resist that. Those two cities lock up the rest of the state.

Guess I’m hoping the suburbs come in heavily for her. As for the weather, if we’re not used to it by now, we’ll never be.

Didn’t I read somewhere that Obama has contributed almost $700,000 to campaign coffers for superdelegates, including $10,000 for Robert Byrd? If so, the bidding contest is on.

Ref the update……In the next week, as she slips further and further down in Texas polling, I expect her to suddenly offer up ‘immediate’ withdrawl. It truly is the only issue that separates her from O. The defeatocrats have such a firm lock on her party that it will be her final attempt to change their minds. Bye Hill. The Patriot upset is nothing compared to this.
