Just following up on the previous comment, I’ll add that it wasn’t just Clinton’s team that shifted the media focus somewhat away from the Wisconsin results tonight. Michelle Obama helped a lot with her statement yesterday about being proud of her country for the first time. Bad timing, bad sound bite. These things happen to every candidate, but it is particularly damaging given the extent to which Obamania is all about optimism. Her statement is a downer, not an upper.
