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.

    I like Hillary, Barack, AND Michelle

    but please, please ask yourselves...if Michelle was running in place of Barack ("proud" comment notwithstanding), do you REALLY think she would have the following HE does?

    If you at all suspect she wouldn't have the same numbers, don't just shrug and say, "Oh well! Women just need to let such sexism slide once in a while." Because we are ALWAYS asked to do this.

    This is why no one bats an eyelash when men of ALL races joke about women in the White House, on many public forums.
