Clinton pulls back in Wisconsin

Hillary Clinton is scaling back her campaign in Wisconsin just days before Tuesday’s primary, according to a report by the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

The New York senator, who trails Illinois Sen. Barack Obama in the race for the Democratic party’s nomination, is cutting her time in Wisconsin short, leaving Monday afternoon instead of Tuesday as originally planned.

Polling in the Badger State shows Clinton trailing Obama by a narrow margin.

Clinton will head for Ohio, which holds its primary on March 4, along with Texas, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Clinton is counting on a big win in the March 4 primaries, especially in delegate-rich Texas and Ohio, to make up some of the ground she’s lost to Obama since Super Tuesday. Obama has won eight states in a row since last weekend, and appears poised to win in Hawaii and Wisconsin on Tuesday.
