Hillary's attack ads "The voters seemed not to care"
From the sounds of it, she's going to be stepping them up. For all of those who think the Obama supporters are being too hard on her, we'll let up as soon as she does. But as long as she's going to shun the people who voted for her and act like she's still in Jr High School, she's fair game.

From MSNBC http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23232655/
Voters disregard war of words
Obama's victory came after a week in which Clinton and her aides tried to knock him off stride. They criticized him in television commercials and accused him of plagiarism for using words first uttered by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, a friend. He shrugged off the advertising volley, and said that while he should have given Patrick credit, the controversy didn't amount to much.

The voters seemed not to care.

1. Well, the Republican ones, anyway
Its no secret the GOP is crossing over to vote for Obama in the primary because they feel he would be easiest to defeat in November.

3. Nice try.... Obama won among Democrats in Wisconsin last night....
....albeit by a smaller margin.


Even if the Wisconsin primary was closed, he would've won. You can't spin that away.

4. Right
That's why Rush Limbaugh has been desperately entreating his minions to vote for Hillary Clinton so that the republicans can take the white house.

5. there is also a common wisdom
That believes that conservatives may be crossing over because of dislike for hillary. Since every national polll has obama beating mccain with clinton losing to mccain, i find this theory hard to believe.

6. It's no secret that you are wrong.
In Wisconsin the repubs were a small percentage of those voting in the dem primary, something like 7%. And the repukes are divided as to who is easier to defeat. One thing's certain: Anyone with a remotely open mind can see that Hill is in big trouble. And that includes in OH

8. Yes, Coulter, Beck, Limbaugh etc have all endorsed Obama.
And Murdoch even raised money for Obama.
Clinton was speaking out against the was back when Obama was voting for it.
Obama is the status quo "establishment" candidate, while Clinton is a DC outsider.

That about covers it.

Oh yeah, and WI, IL, WA, HI, MD, CT, DE, etc are all red states that don't matter.

14. Last time I checked
Rush was going to hold fund raisers for Hillary and Ann was going to vote/endorse Hillary. It's funny how people switch things around to prove their point.

11. I believe in Wisconsin
That right wing talk radio was suggesting they vote for Hillary in the primary.

At least that is what was being discussed on Randi Rhodes, IIRC.

13. "because they feel he would be easiest to defeat in November."
I see no evidence of that.

16. Yeah. We know. Wisconsin doesn't count either...
Man, you people have an excuse for everything.

Every state is a new opportunity for you to lose and then blame some obscure or bizarre factor that
you pull out of your hiney.

What will it be in Texas? "The Cattle!!!! They were blocking the roads!!!!"

What will it be in Ohio? "All of that white snow!!! It blinded the voters' judgment!!!"

9. Obama may have that most Republican of characteristics.
Teflon.

I think it's about the only Republican quality I would actually *want* to possess.

15. It didn't work - so they're going to spend even more money on attacks in Ohio.
And they wonder why they're losing.
