How is it that the perception in the media is that Wisconsin is Obama's to lose? In the polls taken since Super Tuesday in the Badger state, Clinton is within 5 points in all of them, but one. Even more surprising to anyone who watches the political coverage on TV, Clinton is ahead in two of those polls, including the most recent one, which shows her up 6.
Tomorrow's election is going to be close, and because of the media's hype for Obama in Wisconsin, Clinton will be the perceived winner if she loses by less than four points. If she wins, Wisconsin will be the second New Hampshire.

Yeah I think your right. The media is completely lazy and incompetent when it comes to political reporting. Which is funny since it spends so much time covering politics. It's a joke really.
But, I agree, Obama needs to win by at least 6 or 7 to keep the media momentum going.
I am also troubled by the media's (especially MSNBC's) premature hype of Obama's likely "landslide" win in Wisconsin. By predicting it, they make it far less likely to happen, which may be their intent. The talking heads don't care who wins. They care only about viewership, and the longer the race stays close, the more viewers they think they will get.
