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.

    Country-folk.

    I live in a Southern city, but 20 minutes away from me it's all rural. I deal with the local Farming Bureau and USDA Rural Development Department fairly often in my work. I like that he's crafted a plan for my friends and neighbors; maybe it's shameless pandering, but country-folk (members of my extended family) deserve to be included, too.

    I think Illinois is similiar to Georgia in that there are rural farming communities; that's probably why he thinks about it. Or he's just shamelessly pandering.
