And in other news, Obama's efforts in Wisconsin seems to have paid off

Mr. Obama campaigned in the state for four days last week, while Mrs. Clinton cut short her schedule to two days.

At Miss Katie’s Diner in downtown Milwaukee, Don Barranco of Menominee Falls said on Sunday that he believed Mrs. Clinton’s late arrival to campaign had given Mr. Obama an opening.

"Whoever was her strategist has made some serious errors," Mr. Barranco said. "She relied on the big states and neglected states like Wisconsin. Now to curb Obama will be very difficult."

His daughter, Ann, said Mr. Obama had had a much bigger presence in the last week, being splashed across the front pages of newspapers and dominating the local evening news. "I see him doing really well here on Tuesday," Ms. Barranco said. "His momentum is just taking off right now."

A great way to start a Monday morning!!
