We were initially NOT going to devote much space here to the Wisconsin Primary, but it seems like circumstances dictate a chance in direction.
With that in mind, Mike Burlingame, 48, a corrections officer, told "Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel" blogger Crocker Stephenson that even though is a Mike Huckabee supporter, he opted to vote for Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary today at his polling station in Cudahy, Wisc.
His reasoning is that he simply does not want Barack Obama to become president, and he thinks a vote for Huckabee is a mute one because John McCain is 99% certain to be the Republican nominee.
In Bay View, Wisc., Elizabeth Kandziora, 84, and Daniel Wenzel, 78, said they were voting for Clinton for far different reasons.
They cited her experience and her health care strategy as reasons why she should become the first female president.
Wenzel, a retired aluminum products installer, told Stephens that: "she has more on the ball."
This one could actually be interesting though "Washington Post" blogger Chris Cilliza, whom we refer to often hear, said that if Obama hits 60 percent today in Wisconsin Hillary could be in major trouble.
Both Clinton and Obama are courting John Edwards, and each visited him in Chapel Hill, NC, home. No report as to if either one of them was wearing a North Carolina Tarheels shirt.

UPDATE 2/20: Obama got about 57 % of the vote in Wisconsin. He did even better in his native Hawaii on Tuesday. According to "The Honolulu Advertiser," he beat Hillay Clinton 76 % (28,347 votes) to 24 percent (8,835). Only Mitt Romney, who got 88 % in Utah, fared better in one primary this election cycle.
