Obama, McCain Win Wisconsin
Barack Obama and John McCain easily won their party primaries in Wisconsin today. Both candidates were in the 55-57 percent range in early ballot counting, with both soundly trouncing their opponents.
For Obama, it was his ninth straight win over Hillary Clinton and he seemed to seize the mantle of front-runner, beginning his remarks from Houston before Clinton, in Ohio, had finished her remarks. The three cable networks momentarily carried both of them in a split screen, but then left Clinton to air Obama's near-45 minute speech. Obama added 74 delegates to his growing count.
For McCain, it added to his delegate total and makes Mike Huckabee even more an asterisk in the GOP race.
