Wisconsin Regains Its Position
As Momentum Changer In Democratic Primary
9:45 p.m. Lone Star Time
In 1960, Wisconsin turned the momentum away from Hubert Humphrey and toward JFK. In 1968, LBJ got out of his re-election bid when he feared humiliation by a defeat in Washington. 1976, it put Jimmy Carter ahead of an unimpressive pack and tonight, it handed a sizable victory to Barack Obama in a state Hillary Clinton was long expected to win.
Barack Obama behaved poorly in his victory speech first, and foremost, by going on the air during Hillary Clinton’s concession speech. He also spoke of himself as though he were already the presumed president, let alone nominee. He also referred to Hillary dismissive-ly. IS THE PROCONPUNDIT STICKING UP FOR HILLARY CLINTON? IS THE ProConPundit SYMPATHIZING WITH HILLARY? Y-E-S. There, I said it. I don’t want her to be the president but Obama behaved badly. To the casual observer, it may not mean much but in political circles its considered VERY POOR FORM to interrupt someone’s concession speech.
Obama is well on his way. He’s not there yet. Hillary never does so well as when she is down and when she is perceived to be mistreated. Obama is woefully lacking in experience to be president and demonstrated that tonight. The next chapter is going to be VERY ugly. The Clinton's are not going down without a fight. And, brace yourself, again, the ProConPundit will take her side. This is the fight of her life and, despite my non-veiled contempt for the Clinton's, it must be very frustrating to be losing to someone so inferior to her capaibility.
The primary season will likely be OVER on March 4 when the Buck-eyes and Lone-Stars decide the fate of the Democratic nomination.
Meanwhile, John McCain clobbered the Huckster in Wisconsin. Huckabee needs to get on with his life.
Sidebar: The ProConPundit won an award in San Antonio tonight. For what? You’ll never believe it–for my EDGINESS! Jack Welch writes of the 4E’s of Leadership[: Energy, Energizing, Edge & Executing. I won the award for edginess–perhaps jagged!
An astute and fervent Hillary supporter of Latino extraction told me tonight that if Obama gets the nomination he is going with McCain because Obama is not ready for "prime time." The ProConPundit is positing a yet unheard of constituency: HILLARY FANS WHO WILL NOT DIGEST OBAMA SHOULD HE BE THE NOMINEE. I like it.
