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.

    LeCastor:

    "Obama has been conspicuously silent on topics such as the prison industrial complex, the Zionist occupation of Palestine, and the economic underdevelopment of Africa." Yes, these are winning issues for anyone .. on Neptune, perhaps. Here on our planet, anyone even mentioning this stuff in those terms would carry the black population of Berkeley, Calif., and nothing else. Come on. As for Samuelson, he's a GOP hack from way back. Bottom line: half the country hates Hillary Clinton and will NEVER vote for her. Obama will crush McCain in the fall. End of story. If you don't care, fine.
