The Odd Couple: Wisconsin and Hawaii
The dairy and lei capitals of America go to the polls today.

Wisconsin Primaries
Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain are projected to carry the Wisconsin primaries, according to CNN.
This is very problematic for Sen. Clinton, because Wisconsin should have easily been hers. Blue collar workers, a primary and lots of women. Yet she was defeated by double digits.
Hawaii Caucus
Obama won the Hawaii caucus as well, by a commanding margin. No surprise here, given that he grew up in Hawaii.
Final Words
McCain edges ever closer to his delegate threshold, and should have little problem eventually reaching it, even with Huckabee in the race.
Clinton has lost 10 in a row...by large margins. Again, I say, if Obama had lost in a similar pattern, she'd be calling for him to drop out for the good of the party. I think it's time that Clinton saw the writing on the wall.
