Wisconsin Numbers Should Scare Republicans

The Wisconsin primary numbers are in and Obama has won decisively over Hillary Clinton. He cut into several of her core constituency areas. She appears to be in real trouble in her attempt to caputure the nomination. Ohio and Texas could bring her campaign to an end.

There are other numbers to compare in Wisconsin that seem more telling to me. If you take votes for John McCain, and Mike Huckabee, and Ron Paul and roll them all together in one package they still come up short compared to Hillary Clinton. That's right. The entire Republican party can't combine to beat Hillary and she was the big loser in the vote count tonight.

Wisconsin isn't unique. Republicans are uninspired and Democrats are turning out in droves. The difference in numbers between the two parties are incredible.

I think the scent of change is in the air.
