8:27 PM: Doyle says Wisconsin embraced Obama's message
Gov. Jim Doyle, appearing on MSNBC, said Wisconsin responded to Barack Obama's message of change and his focus on middle class issues.
"I haven't seen such excitement like that since maybe when Eugene McCarthy knocked Lyndon Johnson out of the race here a long time ago," Doyle said, referring to the 1968 race.
Exit polling showing more Dem primary voters felt Hillary Clinton unfairly attacked Obama than the other way around. Doyle said Clinton's last line of attack accusing Obama of plagiarism "looked trivial" to voters here.
"People really get down to what the issues are here, and clearly people are very hungry for change," Doyle said.
