Now what?

I guess the Mark Penn & Howard Wolfman "go negative" approach didn't work.

I'm no political analyst, but unlike media-world or blog-world the people who take part in these primaries in the real-world LIKE BOTH OF THESE PEOPLE. But the one who goes "GOP-style" on a Democrat is clearly going to be the one that is punished.

Nevertheless, I bet they double-down in Texas and Ohio.

And, indeed, it appears that they will indeed do just that: (caveat emptor, it's Howie Fineman for goodness sakes)

Remarkably, in the wake of this loss, Howard Fineman was reporting on MSNBC earlier that the Clinton team was spinning it actually as vindication of their Wisconsin strategy since Clinton did better here than she did in the Potomac primaries, where she lost by 29% and 23% in Virginia and Maryland respectively.


This is sad, it's downright, Kirk Watson-level sad. By the way Kirk, try here.

Although Mr. Watson is not actually a highly-paid self-proclaimed genius -- like Mark Penn & Howard Wolfman.
