How Obama won Wisconsin

The Illinois senator did well with campus liberals, white men, crossover Republicans and independents, but he made inroads into Clinton's working-class base too.

    @ Anon With A PhD: What Phoniness

    Ah, the words of a true phony!

    How much you do for your students

    You're so thrilled that they want to clean up the "garbage" that is politics

    How you hate the spouting by pro-Obama and pro-Clinton supporters

    How you hate blogging because of the nastiness

    How you're just so idealistic and support Barack Obama for his wisdom, intellect, unity, hope and change.

    And then, in one sentence, your true phony colors come out: so much for your idealism, hope, unity and change. You don't give a d*** about that. If you did you wouldn't turn around and lambast/bash somebody who is a Clinton supporter and tries to explain why.

    Nope. Instead, you go below the knees, insulting me, my college "creds", my students, and my college. And you don't think you're an elitist? How, exactly, so?

    The first sign of an elitist snob is to attack a peer whose credentials you don't like or won't acknowledge. Got something to hide? Apparently...

    Well, good luck motivating your students!
