Thanks to Weather, Clinton Sticks Around Wisconsin

From CBS News' Fernando Suarez:

MILWAUKEE -- Hillary Clinton was scheduled to depart Wisconsin this morning to campaign in Texas, but snowy conditions caused the Clinton campaign to cancel all of her events yesterday forcing her to play catch up in the Badger State today.

On her schedule are four stops across the state - in De Pere, Eau Claire, Wausau and Madison. But a glance at the schedule shows the campaign does not yet know where the evening will end. She is scheduled to depart Madison at 10pm tonight, but the rest of the schedule including where she is to sleep appears as "TBD [to be determined]."

It's a clear reminder of the fluidity of the campaign at this point. The campaign has often said that they were prepared to go the distance, but some on Clinton's staff have admitted that they are forced to react as the nomination process drags out.

"You learn to roll with the punches," said campaign senior spokesman Mo Elleithee, "You have a unique set of challenges to get to several states in a short period of time."

Clinton is expected to focus on the economy during her stops today, laying out what the campaign calls her "economic blueprint." The campaign will be distributing pamphlets to voters, which lay out her economic agenda at all her events.

Looks like Obama''s ongoing rhetoric is catching up. He is simply not ready for prime time yet. Real ideas and real solutions = Hillary Clinton 08.

We get Bill and Hillary for the price of one. Twice as much work will get done in the White House. Bill will not sit idle, he will definitely help her around the house. Go CLINTONs! The Bush family is going to see that they are not the only ones who can build a dynasty. God help the Republicans who stand in her way on legislation. She was right about the right wing conspirancy

uh policrypt?..yeah, it kinda makes me think that you don''t know what you''re talking about. Unlike Obama, Clinton''s integrity means more than winning the prize. She had committed to speaking engagements and when she makes a promise she keeps it. Can''t say the same about him.
