Milwaukee: Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were getting ready for their upcoming fight in Wisconsin on Sunday.
Obama is hoping for two more wins in Wisconsin and Hawaii along with his eight straight wins, on Tuesday and recent polls shows he is slightly ahead in Wisconsin.
"This is something really different that's happening from anything I've seen in politics, and I think that it is going to be a close race," Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle, an Obama supporter, said on 'Fox News Sunday.' "It's very likely Barack Obama will win."
Bad winter weather forced both Democrats to cancel campaign stops in Wisconsin on Sunday.
Clinton, the New York senator who has seen her big lead in the national polls disappear, called off all scheduled events and instead visited several spots in Milwaukee, where she had spent the night.
"I need your help on Tuesday," She told one family as she was mingling between voters, and she was asked about her chances in winning the election, she said: "I'm feeling good today."
