Senator Hillary Clinton was minutes into her speech Tuesday night after the Wisconsin primary when the cable networks pulled the plug on her in favor of Senator Barack Obama and stayed on him for his entire 45 minute speech.

Seems to me Obama is playing political hardball.  Normally the unwritten etiquette on primary night is the loser speaks first, then after the loser is done the winner speaks.  Both candidates get equal time.  Obama had to know if he started to speak while Clinton was still on that he would kill her airtime on tv that night.  Clinton's campaign is steaming but some might say that's the way the game is played.  Is Obama giving the Clinton machine a taste of its own medicine?  Is the media playing favorites?  Should Obama have stuck to tradition and given Clinton her say before taking the stage?

I do think it was a bit underhanded but politics can be dirty sometimes and this race is starting to get ugly.

Tonight the gloves come off with the head to head debate between the two.  Can't wait to see the fireworks.
