Clinton strategy memo focuses on Ohio, Texas, not Wisconsin

By: Charles Brace /The Daily Cardinal  - February 14, 2008




A Wednesday memo from the campaign of U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., said how Clinton can win the Democratic nomination, though Wisconsin is not mentioned once in the release. “Change begins March 4,” said Clinton advisor Mark Penn the memo referring to the primaries in Ohio and Texas, two states with large amounts of delegates.

Ohio has 141 pledged Democratic delegates, with Texas having 193, not counting the superdelegates in each primary. Wisconsin has 74 pledged delegates out of its 92 total.

Penn also said Clinton would do well in Pennsylvania, with its primary April 22, but no mention is made of the remaining primaries in February, which includes Wisconsin and Hawaii on Feb. 19.

“This race has shown that it is voters and delegates who matter, not the pundits or perceived ‘momentum,’” Penn said.

Carly Lindauer, spokesperson for the Clinton campaign in Wisconsin, said the memo does not show the campaign thinks Wisconsin is unimportant.

She said Chelsea Clinton visiting the state on Monday and Tuesday, along with former President Bill Clinton campaigning Thursday, show the campaign is still determined to win the state.

Lindauer said Senator Clinton would be in Wisconsin Saturday through Tuesday morning. “She’s very committed to being here [in Wisconsin],” Lindauer said.

The Clinton campaign has also launched a series of television commercials in the state asking U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., to debate in Wisconsin. Clinton would have come to Wisconsin earlier if Obama was willing to debate, according to Lindauer.

Dan Leistikow, spokesperson for the Obama campaign in Wisconsin, previously said in an e-mail Obama is scheduled to debate Clinton at least two more times, though this does not necessarily include Wisconsin.
