Wisconsin Primary Prediction Time
Another day, another chance to win an official Fix t-shirt. (For a sneak peak at the design, click here.)
The highlight of today's action is in Wisconsin where Sens. Barack Obama (Ill.) and Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) are facing off in what looks to be one of the closer contests since Feb. 5. Wisconsin for the Republicans should be an easy win for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) although former governor Mike Huckabee has campaigned in the state and seems committed to remaining in the nomination race through March 4.
So, for today's prediction contest we want the correct order of finish (with percentages) for the two Wisconsin races as well as the storyline that emerges from today's voting. Polls close in Wisconsin at 9 p.m. ET so any predictions made after that will not be accepted. Register your prediction in the comments section below; any e-mailed entries will further jam the Fix inbox and not be counted as official entries.
The winners will have the opportunity of a lifetime -- to proudly wear an official Fix t-shirt. Prepare to awe your friends and vanquish your enemies.
Need guidance? Check out pollster.com's survey of the latest data for the Democratic and Republican races.
And, in early returns, there appears to be a clear frontrunner in our "Name March 4" contest. With nearly 850 votes cast, "Ohio-Texas Two-Step" is lapping the field with 54 percent in a four way primary. There's still time to vote.

Storyline: Clintons Scores Upset In State She Was Bound To Win
"Clinton won a state everyone knew she would, given all known information on how Democrats have voted in the primaries. Obama's winning 8 states in a row rose expectations improbably high, allowing the media to project a state he never would won in the first place.
"The high turnout of women, working-class voters and older voters made Wisconsin a virtual shoe-in for Clinton, but she managed to lower expectations by seeming to write off the state, campaigning in Texas for most of the week."

Wow - looks like Hillary is really going to be cream cheese in WI today - women are even breaking for Obama:
http://politicalwire.com/archives/2008/02/19/exit_polls.html
Exit Polls
Fox News, CBS News and the Associated Press have released preliminary exit poll information from the Wisconsin Democratic primary.
Key highlights:
* Women: Obama 51%, Clinton 49%
* Change vs. experience, 52% to 24%.
* Just 17% are first time voters
* Families with income under 50,000: Obama 51%, Clinton 49%
* Independents: Obama 63%, Clinton 34%
* Seniors: Clinton 60%, Obama 39%
* Top quality - experience: Clinton 95%, Obama 5%
* Union households: Clinton 50%, Obama 49%
Update: Mike Allen has more: "Democratic officials with access to exit polls say Sen. Obama looks like he's headed for a huge win in today's Wisconsin primary. The polls could turn out to be off, as they have in the past. But the officials' revelation reflects the chatter in the campaigns in advance of the 9 p.m. Eastern poll closing... Obama encroached deeply into three of Clinton's core groups of voters -- women, those with no college degree and those with lower incomes -- while giving up none of his own."

I hope I'm wrong but I'll guess:
Obama - Clinton are to all intents and purposes tied in Wisconsin (both 49.x%). Obama only hundreds ahead and Clinton saying this is a huge victory for her (whilst querying the result with lawyers).
The storyline (with the result less than clear the following morning) being, "Whoever out of Obama and Clinton clinches the state, the real victor is the nagative campaigning tactic as the Democrats brace themselves for a messy and long fight."

Independents largely vote in the Democratic column, 66% to 34% in the GOP race.
The big story is that Independents are favoring the Democrats and Obama by a much larger percentage than either Hillary or the GOP.
Secondly, women are now trending more towards Obama than before and this trend is going to rattle the Clinton campaign a great deal even while Hillary still gets a majority of the female vote but by a lessening margin.
Lastly, white males are continuing to trend toward Obama,.
GOP turnout is only marginally higher than in prior primaries, the ones already held (this excludes caucuses). This shows a continuing lack of enthusiasm, either for the candidates or in anticipation of a lost cause in November. This is a direct effect of the GWB regime's "accomplishments" for America and for the GOP.

Newspaper headline (D1): Reports of infighting among the Clinton campaign: Should they have gone to WI sooner? Reporters are re-doubling their efforts to fracture the Clinton campaign so they have more to report.
Newspaper headline (D2): Closer than expected, does this bode ill for Obama in Ohio? Reporters are re-doubling their efforts to cause turmoil in the Obama campaign so they have something good to report.
Newspaper headline (R): McCain still dogged by Huckabee: Reporters are re-doubling their efforts to pester McCain into saying something stupid about Huckabee not taking the hint and dropping out.
Cable News Headline (D): What does the uninterrupted string of victories mean going into Super Tuesday II: Our promise to our viewers: Two weeks of incessant punditry.
Cable News Headline (R): When will Huckabee get the Hint: Our promise to our viewers: Two weeks of incessant punditry.
Real Headline (WI only): Record primary turnout and record number of invalidated ballots. Apparently putting both Rep & Dem candidates on the same piece of paper and then instructing voters in a dense, small-type paragraph to not vote in both primaries wasn't the swiftest idea.
Or maybe the Real Headline was only in my district.

Last second "style over substance" doubts about Obama are given credence because of the borrowing of Deval Patrick's phrasing - making the storyline Clinton's closer than expected showing and making Texas even bigger than it was before today.
