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 -

    His name is Barack Hussein Obama. Not Jesus Hussein Christ and certainly not Barry. You can make your point without "calling him out of his name." If you think he's going to be another Carter, fine, but could you please show him some respect, just like you did Carter.

    I will also swear (and I can't talk for other Obama supporters) to call Clinton Clinton and show her the respect she deserves as sitting Senator and a former first lady.

    Alright?

    PS: I think there's a harder core to Obama than Carter. But we're all entitled to our opinion.
